The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be sensitive to gravitational waves arising from the coalescence of 10⁴ — 10⁸M_⊙ black hole binaries in the centers of distant galaxies, the capture of stars, solar mass and intermediate mass black holes about these supermassive black holes, and the signature of hundreds of thousands of galactic binaries with periods ranging from hours to tens of seconds. The analysis of the LISA data stream to detect and learn from these sources poses unique and exciting statistical, computational, and algorithmic challenges. The Testbed for LISA Analysis (TLA) Project is intended to enable and facilitate the development, validation and comparison of different methods for LISA science data analysis, by the broad LISA Science Community, to meet these challenges.
