In this talk I will explain that, although polychromatic EMRIs (the EMRIs we have been talking about until now) have a very low event rate at our Galactic Centre, but that early EMRIs, i.e. EMRIs which are far away from plunging, do contribute and since they are so close to us, the SNR can reach extreme values.

9. Search, recovery or destroy a waveform template: how important are eccentricity evolution and post-adiabatic terms for asymmetric binaries?

Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) arguably stand out among the sources observable by LISA. Indeed, an EMRI waveform is a treasure cove of information on the binary because the gravitational wave is extremely sensitive to even the smallest perturbation. Detecting such a signal would allow us to test General Relativity with unprecedented precision, unique to EMRIs. Such incredible scientific...

The future gravitational wave observations of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission have a huge scientific potential to test General Relativity. The key to unlocking such potential is to develop accurate and fast beyond vacuum waveforms and an efficient data analysis pipeline. This talk will illustrate how to do this with Extreme Mass Ratio Inspiral (EMRI) systems. We will...
