SRON astronomer Valeriya Korol receives an NWO Vidi grant to predict the gravitational-wave signal that future space detector LISA will measure from double white dwarfs in the Milky Way. The project aims to map these stellar fossils and better understand how the Milky Way assembled over time. It combines observations from ESA’s Gaia telescope with gravitational-wave predictions for LISA.
