Abstract

Description

Astrophysical sources of gravitational radiation are likely to have been formed since the beginning of star formation. Realistic source rates of formation throughout the Universe have been estimated from an observation-based determination of the star formation rate density evolution. Both the radiation emitted during the collapse to black holes and the spin-down radiation, induced by the r-mode instability, emitted by hot, young rapidly rotating neutron stars have been considered. We have investigated the overall signal produced by the ensemble of sources exploring the parameter space and discussing its possible detectability.
