Description

With the data release of Gaia DR2 we were able to derive, for the first time, realistic strain, SNR predictions for the known LISA verification binaries. In this talk I will discuss our approach and result. I will also present an overview and the survey strategy of the ZTF high-cadence Galactic Plane survey which aims to find short period variables at low Galactic latitudes.
