Multi-messenger parameter inference of gravitational-wave and electromagnetic observations of white dwarf binaries

Understand

The upcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect a large gravitational-wave foreground of Galactic white dwarf binaries.

• These sources are exceptional for their probable detection at electromagnetic wavelengths, some long before LISA flies.
• Studies in both gravitational and electromagnetic waves will yield strong constraints on system parameters not achievable through measurements of one messenger alone.
• In this work, we present a Bayesian inference pipeline and simulation suite in which we study potential constraints on binaries in a variety of configurations.
