Detecting a stochastic gravitational wave background in the presence of a galactic foreground and instrument noise

Detecting a stochastic gravitational wave background in the presence of a galactic foreground and instrument noise

Detecting a stochastic gravitational wave background requires that we first understand and model any astrophysical foregrounds. In the millihertz frequency band, the predominate foreground signal will be from unresolved white dwarf binaries in the galaxy. We build on our previous work to show that a stochastic gravitational wave background can …
