I want to contribute simulated lisa data

Wonderful! SLDPs from any party are welcome. For those individuals interested in contributing LISA data, we recommend joining the tla-simulate and tla-announce mailing list where information and discussion takes place between developers and users of LISA simulators.

If you would like to contribute an SLDP.....(more)


I want to analyze simulated lisa data...

Great! For greatest ease of communication with individuals interested in the same, we recommend that you join the tla-analyze mailing list, where you can exchange notes with, and ask questions of, others who are also working to analyze simulated LISA data.

You can readily download any SLDP data set....(more)


I have some results (or references) regarding the analysis of simulated lisa data, which I'd like to have posted on the Analysis Results page.

Outstanding! You may have noticed, having already examined the archive's current navigation, that an analysis results page does not currently exist. But don't worry, it will be available as soon as we get the first set of information to post.

With that said, we ask that you please contribute to the archive by....(more)


I've developed a tool I'd like to share with other simulators or analysts

That's the ticket! If you have a tool that you'd like to share, or would like to contribute to the development of the TLA infrastructure, we would love to know how you can help. Fill out the TLA Request Form and provide us with a complete description of the tool, including the programming language that it is written in.

We will be in contact with you to arrange for the packaging and transfer of the source to us for hosting on the TLA Software web page. Please note, we are currently only accpeting tools in source code form.


I'd like to join the TLA Development Team and help develop TLA infrastructure software (APIs, software tools, etc.)

Thank you! The contribution of your time and effort is among the most valuable contributions you can make to help support the burgeoning LISA science community. Members of the TLA Development Team work on a schedule with assigned tasks to produce API and SLDP updates, documentation, and other software tools to support the production and analysis of SLDPs. Current TLA Development team members are listed on the TLA homepage. If you are interested in joining the team, please open a request using the TLA Request Form. Please include with your reqest the type of help you would feel comfortable providing (e.g., what programming languages you prefer to work in), the topic areas you'd like to contribute to (e.g., tool development, API development, challenge infrastructure, etc.), and the approximate number of hours per week that you think you'd be able to contribute, averaged over a 15 week semester.

Once you have submitted a request via the TLA Request Form expressing your interest, someone from the project will bein contact with you to begin discussions of how you can contribute to the TLA team.
