Gravitational Radiation from Pulsating White Dwarfs
Rotating white dwarfs undergoing quasi-radial oscillations can emit gravitational radiation in a frequency range from 0.1 − 0.3 Hz. Assuming that the energy source for the gravitational radiation comes from the oblateness of the white dwarf induced by the rotation, the strain amplitude is found to be ∼ 10 for a white dwarf at ∼ 50 pc. The galactic population of these sources is estimated to be ...
متن کاملGravitational Radiation from Strongly Magnetized White Dwarfs
The magnetic fields of white dwarfs distort their shape generating an anisotropic moment of inertia. A magnetized white dwarf which rotates obliquely relative to the symmetry axis has a mass quadrupole moment which varies in time, so it will emit gravitational radiation. LISA may be able to detect the gravitational waves from two nearby, quickly rotating white dwarfs.
متن کاملGravitational waves from rapidly rotating white dwarfs
Rapidly rotating white dwarfs in cataclysmic variable systems may be emitting gravitational radiation due to the recently discovered relativistic rmode instability. Assuming that the four most rapidly rotating known systems are limited in rotation rate by the instability, the amplitude of the emitted gravitational waves is determined at Earth for both known rapid rotators and for a model backgr...
متن کاملThe gravitational wave radiation of pulsating white dwarfs revisited : the case of BPM 37093 and PG 1159 - 035
We compute the emission of gravitational radiation from pulsating white dwarfs. This is done by using an up-to-date stellar evolutionary code coupled with a state-of-the-art pulsational code. The emission of gravitational waves is computed for a standard 0.6M⊙ white dwarf with a liquid carbon-oxygen core and a hydrogen-rich envelope, for a massive DA white dwarf with a partially crystallized co...
متن کاملSeismology of pre-white dwarfs: Models for pulsating sdB stars
Two kinds of pre-white dwarf stars can be probed through asteroseismology: planetary nebula nuclei (PNNs) and sdB (EHB) stars. To exploit the observed pulsations requires models that incorporate state-ofthe-art input physics and realistic evolutionary histories. Pulsation analysis of extensive grids of such models provide self-consistent theoretical pulsation periods for comparison with observe...
