Gravitational wave background from coalescing compact stars in eccentric orbits

Abstract

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 $\NUlim{}\sim 10^{-3}$ Hz, leaving the frequency window $\sim 10^{-3}$--$10^{-2}$ Hz open for the potential detection of cosmological stochastic gravitational waves and of signals involving massive black holes out to cosmological distances.
