Abstract: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a planned NASA-ESA gravitational wave observatory in the frequency range of 0.1 mHz--100 mHz. This observation band is inaccessible to ground-based detectors due to fluctuations in the Earth gravitational field. Gravitational wave sources for LISA include galactic binaries, mergers of supermassive black-hole binaries, extreme-mass-ratio inspirals, and cosmology backgrounds and bursts. LISA is a constellation of three spacecraft separated by 5 mill ...]]> http://www.ice.csic.es/en/view_event.php?EID=513 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 00:00:00 +0200 Place: Sala de Graus II (Torre C5, parell, 1a planta), UAB (Bellaterra (ICE))

Speaker: Jeff Coughlin (New Mexico State University, USA )
Abstract: An outstanding problem in stellar astrophysics is that the radii of low-mass, main-sequence stars in binary systems are consistently ~10-15% larger than predicted by stellar models. This inflation is hypothesized to be primarily due to enhanced magnetic activity as a result of their binarity, and thus articially enhanced rotation rates. Thus, such an effect should diminish with increasing period, but only a small number of low-mass binary systems are known in general, fewer are well-studied ...]]>
