AR Scorpii and possible gravitational wave radiation from pulsar white dwarfs.

FRANZON B. and SCHRAMM S.

Abstract (from CDS):

In view of the new recent observation and measurement of the rotating and highly magnetized white dwarf AR Scorpii, we determine bounds of its moment of inertia, magnetic fields and radius. Moreover, we investigate the possibility of fast rotating and/or magnetized white dwarfs to be sources of detectable gravitational wave (GW) emission. Numerical stellar models at different baryon masses are constructed. For each star configuration, we compute self-consistent relativistic solutions for white dwarfs endowed with poloidal magnetic fields by solving the Einstein-Maxwell field equations in a self-consistent way. The magnetic field supplies an anisotropic pressure, leading to the braking of the spherical symmetry of the star. In this case, we compute the quadrupole moment of the mass distribution. Next, we perform an estimate of the GW of such objects. Finally, we show that the new recent observation and measurement pulsar white dwarf AR Scorpii, as well as other stellar models, might generate GW radiation that lies in the bandwidth of the discussed next generation of space-based GW detectors DECI-hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (DECIGO) and Big Bang Observer (BBO).
