Gravitational Radiation from Strongly Magnetized White Dwarfs
arXiv:astro-ph/0001343 · doi:10.1046/j.1365-8711.2000.03533.x
Abstract
The magnetic fields of white dwarfs distort their shape generating an anisotropic moment of inertia. A magnetized white dwarf which rotates obliquely relative to the symmetry axis has a mass quadrupole moment which varies in time, so it will emit gravitational radiation. LISA may be able to detect the gravitational waves from two nearby, quickly rotating white dwarfs.
