Purpose

The LISA Science Group is the body tasked with implementing the scientific vision of the consortium. In particular, the group will ensure the development needed to allow the consortium to deliver on its promised science goals and products. The group will provide the forum where the work and ideas of the science working groups (Astrophysics, Fundamental Physics and Cosmology) is brought together and implemented and tracked as projects.

Structure

The Groups of Work Packages are:

(1) In strong collaboration with the LISA Data Processing Group

LINCS

Within the LSG, LINCS (LISA Internal Networking Committee for Science) is a small group within the LISA Science Group (LSG) dedicated to helping streamline information flow in the Working Groups and with the Consortium, and to make it easier to find information about resources and scientific research activities within the Consortium. Part of our goal in streamlining and easing communications within the LSG is to insure that everyone can find meaningful and rewarding ways to apply their talent and work to the LISA effort, and to insure that enough person-power is applied to essential and critical work that needs to be done in the near future as LISA accelerates toward adoption, construction, and launch.

The current members are:

LINCS maintains the LISA User Guide FAQ, as well as some internal wiki pages (login required) which try to collate all possible sources of information about the consortium and places to seek further help and advice. They can be contacted at lsg-lincs@lisamission.org.
