Gravitational wave background from neutron star phase transition for a new class of equation of state
We study the generation of a stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background
produced by a population of neutron stars (NSs) which go over a hadron-quark
phase transition in its inner shells. We obtain, for example, that the NS phase
transition, in cold dark matter scenarios, could generate a stochastic GW
background with a maximum amplitude of , in the
frequency band for stars forming at redshifts of up
to We study the possibility of detection of this isotropic GW
background by correlating signals of a pair of `advanced' LIGO observatories.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur
