abstract

With the goal of attempting to observe a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) with LISA, the spectral separability of the cosmological and astrophysical backgrounds is important to estimate. We attempt to determine the level with which a cosmological background can be observed given the predicted astrophysical background level. We predict detectable limits for the future LISA measurement of the SGWB. Adaptive Markov chain Monte-Carlo methods are used to produce estimates with the simulated data from the LISA Data challenge (LDC). We also calculate the Cramer-Rao lower bound on the variance of the SGWB parameter uncertainties based on the inverse Fisher Information using the Whittle Likelihood. The estimation of the parameters is done with the 3 LISA channels $A$, $E$, and $T$. We simultaneously estimate the noise using a LISA noise model. Assuming the expected astrophysical background, a cosmological background energy density of around $\Omega_{GW,Cosmo} \approx 1 \times 10^{-12}$ to $1 \times 10^{-13}$ can be detected by LISA.

  1. LISA Reconstruction Landscape for Metastable Cosmic Strings

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    LISA can reconstruct metastable cosmic-string tension and lifetime when it samples the tail-to-plateau transition, with residual κ_CS sensitivity possible even in high-SNR plateau-like spectra.

  2. Theoretical uncertainties in reconstructing model parameters with gravitational waves from supercooled phase transitions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the conformal U(1)_X model, the daisy-resummed nucleation scheme shifts LISA-reconstructed gauge couplings by O(10%) relative to the NLO effective-field-theory result, an order of magnitude above the Fisher-matrix ...

  3. Inferring the stochastic gravitational-wave background from eccentric stellar-mass binary black holes with spaceborne detectors

    gr-qc 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Eccentric black-hole-binary backgrounds from globular clusters and isolated evolution would look like power-law noise for TianQin/LISA/Taiji, but AGN-formed binaries produce a turnover that LISA and Taiji can distinguish.

  4. Alternative LISA-TAIJI networks: polarization separation of the stochastic gravitational wave background

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds containing simultaneous tensor, vector, and scalar modes, the more inclined LISA-TAIJIm network separates polarization components substantially better than LISA-TAIJIp, al...

  5. Inflationary phase transitions in the early Universe: A Bayesian study with space-based gravitational-wave detectors

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    With a Taiji-like detector, inflationary phase-transition gravitational-wave backgrounds are detectable at SNR≳10, but reliable parameter reconstruction needs SNR≳33 and degrades with astrophysical foregrounds.

  6. Bayesian analysis of the complex singlet model with phase transition gravitational waves

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Bayesian forecasts for the Taiji detector constrain complex singlet model parameters through electroweak phase transition gravitational wave signals.

  7. Measuring gravitational wave spectrum from electroweak phase transition and Higgs self-couplings

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using simulated Taiji data, the authors show that a stochastic gravitational-wave signal from an electroweak phase transition in the singlet-extended Standard Model can constrain the Higgs cubic and quartic self-couplings.
