The novel data analysis challenges posed by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) arise from the overwhelmingly large number of astrophysical sources in the measurement band and the density with which they are found in the data. Robust detection and characterization of the numerous gravitational wave sources in LISA data can not be done sequentially, but rather through a simultaneous global fit of a data model containing the full suite of astrophysical and instrumental features present in the data. While previous analyses have focused on individual source types in isolation, here we present the first demonstration of a LISA global fit analysis containing combined astrophysical populations. The prototype pipeline uses a blocked Metropolis Hastings algorithm to alternatingly fit to a population of ultra compact galactic binaries, known ``verification binaries'' already identified by electromagnetic observations, a population of massive black hole mergers, and an instrument noise model. The Global LISA Analysis Software Suite (GLASS) is assembled from independently developed samplers for the different model components. The modular design enables flexibility to future development by defining standard interfaces for adding new, or updating additional, components to the global fit without being overly prescriptive for how those modules must be internally designed. The GLASS pipeline is demonstrated on data simulated for the LISA Data Challenge 2b. Results of the analysis and a road-map for continued development are described in detail.

    A time-frequency (STFT) Bayesian framework improves Taiji Galactic binary and noise parameter estimation under non-stationary noise compared with frequency-domain analysis.

  3. Gravitational-wave generation in the presence of Lorentz invariance violation

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Gravitational waves in a class of Lorentz-violating gravity theories would have amplitude components that do not decay with distance, strongly constraining those theories.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Residual Galactic binaries left after catalog-matched recovery inflate the LISA flat-SGWB amplitude uncertainty by 13.6% when their amplitude is marginalized, and would bias it by ~120σ if omitted.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    WD–CO binaries produce unique GW waveforms with a sharp f_max cutoff; LGWA/DECIGO will detect many end stages, while terrestrial detectors will not mistake them for sub-solar compact objects.

    Omitting higher-order waveform harmonics can cause severe, spin-dependent parameter biases for massive LISA black-hole binaries, including confident localization in the wrong sky region.

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hydrodynamic stochastic gas torques do not bias the recovered binary parameters of EMRI/IMRI signals in LISA, but they can bias or hide the inferred accretion disk torque amplitude and slope.
