Identifying the Quadrupolar Nature of Gravitational Wave Background through Space-based Missions

Yifan Chen, Yuxiang Liu, Jing Shu +3

The stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) consists of an incoherent collection of waves from both astrophysical and cosmological sources. To distinguish the SGWB from noi…
