Context. Galactic binaries account for the loudest combined continuous gravitational wave signal in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) band, which spans a frequency range of 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz. Aims. A superposition of low frequency…
Binary interaction can cause stellar envelopes to be stripped, which significantly reduces the radius of the star. The orbit of a binary composed of a stripped star and a compact object can therefore be so tight that the gravitational…

White dwarfs comprise 95% of all stellar remnants, and are thus an excellent tracer of old stellar populations in the Milky Way. Current and planned telescopes are not able to directly probe the white dwarf population in its entirety due to…
We calculate how accurately parameters of the short-period binaries $(10^{-4} {Hz} \lsim f\lsim 10^{-2} {Hz})$ will be determined from the gravitational waves by LISA. In our analysis the chirp signal ${\dot f}$ is newly included as a…
