As a collaborative partner, NASA is contributing the telescopes, other critical hardware, and engineering and scientific support as part of its mission to better understand how the universe works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LISA detection method is similar to one called <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/exoplanets\/how-we-find-and-characterize\/#hds-sidebar-nav-1\" rel=\"noopener\">radial velocity<\/a> that uses light and is already employed to find exoplanets around nearby stars. As a planet orbits, its gravity tugs on its host star, imparting a small reflex motion, or wobble, onto it. This wobble causes the star\u2019s spectrum to oscillate, with spectral lines shifting from redder wavelengths as the star moves away from us to bluer ones as the star moves toward us. The shift is due to a phenomenon called the <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/asset\/webb\/doppler-shift-of-a-stars-spectrum\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Doppler effect<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSomething similar occurs with gravitational waves,\u201d said Scott Noble, a theoretical astrophysicist at NASA Goddard and a coauthor on the confirmation paper. \u201cBy themselves, double white dwarfs will emit gravitational waves at a nearly continuous frequency. Add a sufficiently massive planet to the system, and its presence causes the binary to experience reflex motion, adding a Doppler modulation to the gravitational signal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For LISA, this modulation will appear as sidebands, secondary signals at both higher and lower frequencies than the primary one. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McGrath likens the situation to modern radio communication, where some of the energy of a main radio carrier frequency goes into forming sidebands at adjacent upper and lower frequencies that carry messages (like voices or music). For gravitational waves, the sidebands carry messages about the presence of a planet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/image-article\/white-dwarf-stars\/\" rel=\"noopener\">White dwarfs <\/a>are the Earth-sized remnants of stars like the Sun. While exoplanets have been detected around a few isolated white dwarfs, none have yet been found around a binary white dwarf, which means the LISA detections would represent a distinct new exoplanet population.<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-wide\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/content\/dam\/science\/cds\/ciencia\/2023\/06\/s\/stsci-j-p2223a_0.jpeg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"stsci-j-p2223a.jpeg (opens in a new tab)\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1593\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/cds\/ciencia\/2023\/06\/s\/stsci-j-p2223a_0.jpeg?w=2048&amp;h=1593&amp;%23038;fit=clip&amp;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x1593 size-2048x1593\" alt=\"stsci-j-p2223a.jpeg\" style=\"transform: scale(1);transform-origin: 50% 50%;object-position: 50% 50%;object-fit: cover\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\">\n<div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">NASA\u2019s infrared-sensitive James Webb Space Telescope, shown in this artist\u2019s concept, will be able to confirm planets detected by gravitational waves in binary white dwarf systems located within a few hundred light-years. <\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center Conceptual Image Lab<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Astronomers estimate that our Milky Way galaxy contains 10 million double white dwarf systems with orbital periods of less than an hour, which generate gravitational waves in the right range for LISA to find. They expect LISA will resolve about 10,000 individual systems, as well as around 100 mixed binaries \u2014 with white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes \u2014 orbiting in similar periods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnce LISA captures its first exoplanet detections, it will be critical for us to validate some of them,\u201d said Mary Anne Limbach, an assistant research scientist at the University of Michigan and a co-author on the confirmation paper. \u201cThese joint detections will allow us to establish that the gravitational signals correspond to genuine planets rather than false positives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team described a new method for confirming these planets by taking advantage of the Webb telescope\u2019s infrared sensitivity. A planet in a double white dwarf system produces a larger portion of infrared light than what\u2019s expected from the stars themselves. Webb\u2019s instruments can easily detect this infrared excess out to a distance of at least 500 light-years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using this technique for a test case system at this distance, the researchers find that Webb could detect an exoplanet about five times Jupiter\u2019s mass, while LISA could detect a sub-Jupiter exoplanet under ideal circumstances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LISA observatory will consist of a trio of spacecraft following Earth as it orbits the Sun. They will form a vast triangular array stretching 1.6 million miles (2.5 million kilometers) on each side. Each spacecraft will include two telescopes that will use infrared laser beams to simultaneously transmit and receive signals between adjacent spacecraft. Through these telescopes, the spacecraft will measure miniscule changes \u2014 smaller than the width of a helium atom \u2014 in their relative distances, the signals of passing gravitational waves. \u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-wide\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/content\/dam\/science\/missions\/lisa\/news\/2026\/l3harris-award-for-test-telescope\/LISA_key_visual_ESA_lg_ac.jpg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Artist\u2019s concept of the LISA constellation (opens in a new tab)\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/lisa\/news\/2026\/l3harris-award-for-test-telescope\/LISA_key_visual_ESA_lg_ac.jpg?w=2048&amp;h=1152&amp;%23038;fit=clip&amp;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x1152 size-2048x1152\" alt=\"Artist\u2019s concept of the LISA constellation\" style=\"transform: scale(1.2);transform-origin: 50% 50%;object-position: 50% 50%;object-fit: cover\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\">\n<div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">This artist\u2019s concept shows the LISA mission at work.
