Parameter estimation for Galactic binaries by LISA

Astrophysics 2009-11-07 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We calculate how accurately parameters of the short-period binaries (104Hz\lsimf\lsim102Hz)(10^{-4} {Hz} \lsim f\lsim 10^{-2} {Hz}) will be determined from the gravitational waves by LISA. In our analysis the chirp signal f˙{\dot f} is newly included as a fitting parameters and dependence on observational period or wave frequency is studied in detail. Implications for gravitational wave astronomy are also discussed quantitatively.
