Description
We give an overview of a survey we are conducting using the Zwicky Transient Facility to discover new LISA detectable binary systems. This survey makes use of large scale periodicity searches, with follow up to confirm promising candidates using high-speed photometry and phase-resolved spectroscopy, when feasible. Thus far, we have discovered and confirmed 14 new LISA detectable binary systems. The discovery engine we have developed will be directly applicable to LSST, and we discuss simulations we have performed both estimating the completeness of our search in ZTF data and how complete we anticipate such searches being in LSST, given its significantly lower cadence.
