Description
Gravitational-wave observations have opened a new window onto compact objects across the Universe. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a flagship European-led mission that will explore the intermediate-frequency gravitational-wave spectrum between 0.1 and 100 mHz. With its unique discovery potential, LISA will detect an exceptionally rich variety of sources, from stellar binaries in our own Galaxy to black hole binaries of all masses and configurations throughout cosmic history. In this talk, I will give an update on the status of the LISA mission and highlight key science cases it will deliver concerning black holes.
