MLDC meeting minutes

• MLDC4: BBH waveforms and priors
  • New SMBH taper: need to handle the case where the negative-fdot trigger happens after the end of the final buffer
  • Problems in checks against Stas’ code; he will try reverting to earlier versions
  • Extend m1 prior from 5e5 to 5e6, linear; need new makesource-SpinBBH options
  • Some discussion of changing SNR priors; deferred to future

• MLDC4: pipeline
  • Neil will modify lisasim as previously discussed to run on short segments
  • OK to put out frequency-fluctuation version (synthlisa + lisacode) when it’s ready

• MLDC1 for students
  • Matt will e-mail GSFC guys to put it online, finally

• MLDC3 proceeedings
  • due Oct 30
  • section captains: Michele (MLDC4), Matt + Neil (binaries), Emma + Stas (stochastic), Antoine (SMBH), Jonathan (EMRIs), Ed (bursts)... I think
