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 10-3 Hz, leaving the frequency window 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.
