Gravitational wave radiation from a double white dwarf system inside our galaxy: a potential method for seeking strange dwarfs Methods to Seek Strange Dwarfs

Abstract

Abstract Like the investigation of double white dwarf (DWD) systems, strange dwarf (SD) – white dwarf (WD) system evolution in Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)’s absolute amplitude-frequency diagram is investigated. Since there is a strange quark core inside an SD, SDs’ radii are significantly smaller than the value predicted by the standard WD model, which may strongly affect the gravitational wave (GW) signal in the mass-transferring phases of binary systems. We study how an SD-WD binary evolves across LISA’s absolute amplitude-frequency diagram. In principle, we provide an executable way to detect SDs in the Galaxy’s DWD systems by radically new windows offered by GW detectors.
