Multimessenger parameter inference of gravitational-wave and electromagnetic observations of white dwarf binaries
The upcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect a large
gravitational-wave foreground of Galactic white dwarf binaries. These sources
are exceptional for their probable detection at electromagnetic wavelengths,
some long before LISA flies. Studies in both gravitational and electromagnetic
waves will yield strong constraints on system parameters not achievable through
measurements of one messenger alone. In this work, we present a Bayesian
inference pipeline and simulation suite in which we study potential constraints
on binaries in a variety of configurations. We show how using LISA detections
and parameter estimation can significantly improve constraints on system
parameters when used as a prior for the electromagnetic analyses. We also
provide rules of thumb for how current measurements will benefit from LISA
measurements in the future.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, accepted to MNRA
