Understand

For a uniform population of neutron stars whose spin-down is dominated by the emission of gravitational radiation, an old argument of Blandford states that the expected gravitational-wave amplitude of the nearest source is independent of the deformation and rotation frequency of the objects.

Recent work has improved and extended this argument to set upper limits on the expected amplitude from neutron stars that also emit electromagnetic radiation.
We restate these arguments in a more general framework, and simulate the evolution of such a population of stars in the gravitational potential of our galaxy.
The simulations allow us to test the assumptions of Blandford's argument on a realistic model of our galaxy.
