We discuss spatial fluctuations in the gravitational wave background arising from unresolved Galactic binary sources, such as close white dwarf binaries, due to the fact the galactic binary source distribution is anisotropic. We introduce a…

We estimate the upper frequency cutoff of the galactic white dwarf binaries gravitational wave background that will be observable by the LISA detector. This is done by including the modulation of the gravitational wave signal due the motion…
