Double Compact Objects as Low-frequency Gravitational Wave Sources
Krzysztof Belczynski, Matthew Benacquista, Tomasz Bulik
We study the Galactic field population of double compact objects (NS-NS, BH-NS, BH-BH binaries) to investigate the number (if any) of these systems that can potentially be detected…
The Contribution of Halo White Dwarf Binaries to the LISA Signal
Ashley J. Ruiter, Krzysztof Belczynski, Matthew Benacquista +1
Galactic double white dwarfs were postulated as a source of confusion limited noise for LISA, the future space-based gravitational wave observatory. Until very recently, the Galact…
The LISA Gravitational Wave Foreground: A Study of Double White Dwarfs
A. J. Ruiter, K. Belczynski, M. Benacquista +2
Double white dwarfs are expected to be a source of confusion-limited noise for the future gravitational wave observatory LISA. In a specific frequency range, this 'foreground noise…
Selection effects in resolving Galactic binaries with LISA
M. J. Benacquista, S. L. Larson, B. E. Taylor
Using several realisations of the Galactic population of close white dwarf binaries, we have explored the selection bias for resolved binaries in the LISA data stream. We have assu…
Contribution of Compact Mass Transferring Systems to the Galactic Gravitational Wave Background
Krzysztof Belczynski, Matthew Benacquista, Shane L. Larson +1
Compact object binaries, mostly double with dwarfs, are believed to be a potential source of confusion-limited noise for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). In a specifi…
Consequences of Disk Scale Height on LISA Confusion Noise from Close White Dwarf Binaries
M. Benacquista, K. Holley-Bockelmann
Gravitational radiation from the Galactic population of close white dwarf binaries (CWDBs) is expected to produce a confusion-limited signal at the lower end of the sensitivity ban…
Gravitational Radiation from Pulsating White Dwarfs
M. Benacquista, D. Sedrakian, M. Hairapetyan +2
Rotating white dwarfs undergoing quasi-radial oscillations can emit gravitational radiation in a frequency range from 0.1 - 0.3 Hz. Assuming that the energy source for the gravitat…
Relativistic Binaries in Globular Clusters
Matthew Benacquista
The galactic population of globular clusters are old, dense star systems, with a typical cluster containing stars. As an old population of stars, globular clusters co…
Gravitational Radiation from Black Hole Binaries in Globular Clusters
M. J. Benacquista
A populations of stellar mass black hole binaries may exist in globular clusters. The dynamics of globular cluster evolution imply that there may be at most one black hole binary i…
Detection of Gravitational Waves from Gravitationally Lensed Systems
T. Wickramasinghe, M. Benacquista
It is accepted that quasars are powered by supermassive black holes (SMBH) with masses in the range 10^6 - 10^9 solar masses in their cores. Occasionally, compact stars can plunge…
Detecting Eccentric Globular Cluster Binaries with LISA
M. Benacquista
The energy carried in the gravitational wave signal from an eccentric binary is spread across several harmonics of the orbital frequency. The inclusion of the harmonics in the anal…
