Supermassive Black Hole Astrophysics with eLISA

Our preprint Science with the space-based interferometer eLISA. I: Supermassive black hole binaries is on the arXiv. The article, led by Antoine Klein, is the result of studies performed for the Gravitational Observatory Advisory Team (GOAT), established by the European Space Agency to advise on the scientific and technological approaches for a space-based gravitational-wave observatory with a planned launch date in 2034. In the meanwhile, LISA Pathfinder is getting ready for a December 2 launch: see the Physics of the Cosmos webpage for some amazing pictures (sample below).
