Binary white dwarfs and decihertz gravitational wave observations: From the Hubble constant to supernova astrophysics

Andrea Maselli, Stefania Marassi, Marica Branchesi

Coalescences of binary white dwarfs represent a copious source of information for gravitational wave interferometers operating in the decihertz band. Moreover, according to the dou…
