Description
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission is a space-based gravitational wave interferometer set to launch in 2035, and which has now formally been adopted by ESA. LISA will search for gravitational waves in the millihertz frequency range, which is expected to contain gravitational waves of both astrophysical and cosmological origin. To prepare for the future launch of LISA and the wealth of data we expect it to provide, data analysis tools and pipelines need to be developed and tested. In this talk I will present the LISA activities of the recently established Cosmology Data Centre Finland (CDC-FI), which will handle some of the code prototyping and development necessary to prepare for the LISA mission. CDC-FI will also host the production of the next major LISA mock dataset, which will be used by the LISA community to test these codes. These efforts will constitute Finland’s main contribution to LISA operations.
