Cataclysmic variables as sources of gravitational waves
/ Authors
/ Abstract
General relativity predicts that binary systems of stars produce gravitational waves of significant intensity. Here we are particularly interested in the cataclysmic variable bi- naries (CVs). These systems emit low frequency gravitational waves, f< 10 3 Hz. We present here a catalog of CVs and ar- gue that part of them are capable of being detected by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA).
