Searching for continuous gravitational wave sources in binary systems
We consider the problem of searching for continuous gravitational wave (CW) sources orbiting a companion object. This issue is of particular interest because, the Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXB’s), and among them Sco X-1 – the brightest X-ray source in the sky – might be marginally detectable with ≈ 2 years coherent observation time by the Earth-based laser interferometers expected to come on li...
متن کاملGravitational-wave sources
The sources of gravitational radiation that seem to be most likely to be detected by planned groundand space-based gravitational-wave detectors are reviewed, with particular attention to the likely information that observations of them will reveal. A particular emphasis is placed on observations by LISA, the fundamental-physics Cornerstone project of the European Space Agency’s Horizon 2000+ pr...
متن کاملSearch for continuous gravitational wave signals from sources in binary systems
We analyze the computational costs of searches for continuous monochromatic gravitational waves emitted by rotating neutron stars orbiting a companion object. As a function of the relevant orbital parameters, we address the computational load involved in targeted searches, where the position of the source is known; the results are applied to known binary radio pulsars and Sco-X1.
متن کاملDouble Compact Objects as Low-frequency Gravitational Wave Sources
We study the galactic population of double compact objects (NS-NS, BH-NS, BH-BH binaries) to investigate the number (if any) of these systems that can potentially be detected with LISA at low gravitational-wave frequencies. We calculate the Galactic numbers and physical properties of these binaries and show their relative contribution from the disk, bulge and halo. It is found that, although th...
متن کاملShort-period AM CVn systems as optical, X-ray and gravitational wave sources
We model the population of AM CVn systems in the Galaxy and discuss the detectability of these systems with optical, X-ray and gravitational wave detectors. We concentrate on the short period (P < 1500 s) systems, some of which are expected to be in a phase of direct impact accretion. Using a self-consistent model for the star formation history and radial distribution of stars in the Galaxy plu...
