Abstract

The LISA International Science Team Working Group on Data Analysis (LIST‐WG1B) is sponsoring several rounds of mock data challenges, with the purpose of fostering the development of LISA data‐analysis capabilities, and of demonstrating technical readiness for the maximum science exploitation of the LISA data. The first round of challenge data sets were released at this Symposium. We describe the objectives, structure, and timeline of this program.
