Gravitational wave background from coalescing compact stars in eccentric orbits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stochastic gravitational wave background produced by a stationary coalescing population of binary neutron stars in the Galaxy is calculated. This background is found to constitute a confusion limit within the LISA frequency band up to a limiting frequency νlim ∼ 10 −3 Hz, leaving the frequency window ∼ 10–10 Hz open for the potential detection of cosmological stochastic gravitational waves and of signals involving massive black holes out to cosmological distances.

Orbital Eccentricity Effects on the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background from Coalescing Binary Neutron Stars
Unresolved coalescing binary neutron stars in the Galaxy and beyond produce a stochastic gravitational wave background within the LISA frequency band, which can be potentially dangerous for possible detection of fundamentally more interesting relic cosmological backgrounds. Here we address the question what effects the unavoidable eccentricity of orbits of these systems should have on the prope...
متن کاملThe Effect of Orbital Eccentricity on Gravitational Wave Background Radiation from Cosmological Binaries
A compact binary on an eccentric orbit radiates gravitational waves (GWs) at all integer harmonics of its orbital frequency. Thus, the spectral energy distribution, the power and the timescale of GW radiation of a binary on an eccentric orbit are different from those of a binary on a circular orbit. Therefore, in order to predict spectra of gravitational wave background radiation (GWBR) from co...
متن کاملThe Effect of Orbital Eccentricity on Gravitational Wave Background Radiation from Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
A compact binary on an eccentric orbit radiates gravitational waves (GWs) at all integer harmonics of its orbital frequency. In this study, we investigate the effect of orbital eccentricity on expected gravitational background radiation (GWBR) from supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in galaxy nuclei. For this purpose, we formulate the power spectrum of GWBR from cosmological evolving eccen...
متن کاملDetection of Gravitational Waves from Eccentric Compact Binaries
Coalescing compact binaries have been pointed out as the most promising source of gravitational waves for kilometer-size interferometers such as LIGO. Gravitational wave signals are extracted from the noise in the detectors by matched filtering. This technique performs really well if an a priori theoretical knowledge of the signal is available. The information known about the possible sources i...
متن کاملSpin effects in the phasing of gravitational waves from binaries on eccentric orbits
We compute here the spin-orbit and spin-spin couplings needed for an accurate computation of the phasing of gravitational waves emitted by comparable-mass binaries on eccentric orbits at the second post-Newtonian (PN) order. We use a quasi-Keplerian parametrization of the orbit free of divergencies in the zero-eccentricity limit. We find that spin-spin couplings induce a residual eccentricity f...
