Abstract

We present Monte Carlo simulations of the extra galactic population of inspiralling double neutron stars, and estimate its contribution to the astrophysical gravitational wave background, in the frequency range of ground-based interferometers, corresponding to the last 1000 s before the last stable orbit when more than 96% of the signal is released. We show that sources at redshift z > 0.5 contribute to a truly continuous background which may be detected by correlating third generation interferometers.
