Long Term Operation of LISA and Galactic Close White Dwarf Binaries
نویسنده
چکیده
The binary confusion noise spectrum at LISA band depends strongly on observational period and abundance of Galactic close white dwarf binaries (CWDBs). We have investigated how the number of the resolved Galactic CWDBs varies with operation period of LISA, and found that the resolved number would typically grows by a factor of 5 when the operation period increases from 1yr to 10yr. We have also made a similar estimation for number of CWDBs whose chirp signal can be measured in matched filtering analysis.

Population Boundaries for Galactic White Dwarf Binaries in LISA’s Amplitude-Frequency Domain
Detached, inspiraling and semi-detached, mass-transferring double white dwarf (DWD) binary systems are both expected to be important sources for the proposed space-based gravitational-wave detector, LISA. The mass-radius relationship of individual white dwarf stars in combination with the constraints imposed by Roche geometries permit us to identify population boundaries for DWD systems in LISA...
متن کاملA Simulation of the LISA Data Stream from Galactic White Dwarf Binaries
Gravitational radiation from the galactic population of white dwarf binaries is expected to produce a background signal in the LISA frequency band. At frequencies below 1 mHz, this signal is expected to be confusion-limited and has been approximated as gaussian noise. At frequencies above about 5 mHz, the signal will consist of separable individual sources. We have produced a simulation of the ...
متن کاملGravitational Wave Background of Neutron Star-White Dwarf Binaries
We discuss the stochastic background of gravitational waves from ultra compact neutron star-white dwarf (NS-WD) binaries at cosmological distances. Under the assumption that accreting neutron stars and donor white dwarf stars form most of the low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), our calculation makes use of recent results related to the luminosity function determined from X-ray observations. Even a...
متن کاملSelection effects in resolving Galactic binaries with LISA
Using several realisations of the Galactic population of close white dwarf binaries, we have explored the selection bias for resolved binaries in the LISA data stream. We have assumed a data analysis routine that is capable of identifying binaries that have a signal to noise ratio of at least 5 above a confusion foreground of unresolved binaries. The resolved population of binaries is separated...
متن کاملThe gravitational wave signal from the Galactic disk population of binaries containing two compact objects
We review the properties of Galactic binaries containing two compact objects, as derived by means of population synthesis. Using this information we calculate the gravitational wave signal of these binaries. At frequencies below f <∼ 2 mHz the double white dwarf population forms an unresolved background for the low-frequency gravitational wave detector LISA. Above this limit some few thousand d...
