The gravitational wave signal from the Galactic disk population of binaries containing two compact objects
The 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 mHz the double white dwarf population forms an unresolved background for the low-frequency gravitational wave detector LISA. …
