We investigate the ability of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) to detect a stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) produced by cosmic strings, and to subsequently estimate the string tension $Gmu$ in the presence of instrument noise, an astrophysical background from compact binaries, and the galactic foreground from white dwarf binaries. Fisher Information and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods provide estimates of the LISA noise and the parameters for the different signal sources. We demonstrate the ability of LISA to simultaneously estimate the galactic foreground, as well as the astrophysical and cosmic string produced backgrounds. Considering the expected astrophysical background and a galactic foreground, a cosmic string tension in the $G mu approx 10^{-16}$ to $Gmu approx 10^{-15}$ range or bigger could be measured by LISA, with the galactic foreground affecting this limit more than the astrophysical background. The parameter estimation methods presented here can be applied to other cosmological backgrounds in the LISA observation band.

In its observation band, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will simultaneously observe stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) signals of different origins; orbitally modulated waveforms from galactic white dwarf binaries, a binar
y black hole produced background, and possibly a cosmologically produced SGWB. We simulate the emission of gravitational waves from galactic white dwarf binaries based on the Lamberts cite{Lamberts} distributions and determine a complex waveform from the galactic foreground. We generate the modulated galactic signal detected by LISA due to its orbital motion, and present a data analysis strategy to address it. The Fisher Information and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods give an estimate of the LISA noise and parameters for the different signal sources. We simultaneously estimate the galactic foreground, the astrophysical and cosmological backgrounds, and estimate detection limits for the future LISA observation of the SGWB in the spectral domain with the 3 LISA channels $ A $, $ E $ and $ T $. In the context of the expected astrophysical background and a galactic foreground, a cosmological background energy density of about $ Omega_{GW,Cosmo} approx 8 times 10^{-13} $ could be detected by LISA with our spectral separation strategy.
With the goal of attempting to observe a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) with LISA, the spectral separability of the cosmological and astrophysical backgrounds is important to estimate. We attempt to determine the level with which a c
osmological background can be observed given the predicted astrophysical background level. We predict detectable limits for the future LISA measurement of the SGWB. Adaptive Markov chain Monte-Carlo methods are used to produce estimates with the simulated data from the LISA Data challenge (LDC). We also calculate the Cramer-Rao lower bound on the variance of the SGWB parameter uncertainties based on the inverse Fisher Information using the Whittle Likelihood. The estimation of the parameters is done with the 3 LISA channels $A$, $E$, and $T$. We simultaneously estimate the noise using a LISA noise model. Assuming the expected astrophysical background, a cosmological background energy density of around $Omega_{GW,Cosmo} approx 1 times 10^{-12}$ to $1 times 10^{-13}$ can be detected by LISA.
In previous work [1], three TAIJI orbital deployments have been proposed to compose alternative LISA-TAIJI networks, TAIJIm (leading the Earth by $20^circ$ and $-60^circ$ inclined with respect to ecliptic plane), TAIJIp (leading the Earth by $20^circ
$ and $+60^circ$ inclined), TAIJIc (colocated and coplanar with LISA) with respect to LISA mission (trailing the Earth by $20^circ$ and $+60^circ$ inclined). And the LISA-TAIJIm network has been identified as the most capable configuration for massive black hole binary observation. In this work, we examine the performance of three networks to the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) especially for the comparison of two eligible configurations, LISA-TAIJIm and LISA-TAIJIp. This investigation shows that the detectability of LISA-TAIJIm is competitive with the LISA-TAIJIp network for some specific SGWB spectral shapes. And the capability of LISA-TAIJIm is also identical to LISA-TAIJIp to separate the SGWB components by determining the parameters of signals. Considering the performances on SGWB and massive black hole binaries observations, the TAIJIm could be recognized as an optimal option to fulfill joint observations with LISA.
Within its observational band the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, LISA, will simultaneously observe orbital modulated waveforms from Galactic white dwarf binaries, a binary black hole produced gravitational-wave background, and potentially a cosm
ologically created stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB). The overwhelming majority of stars end their lives as white dwarfs, making them very numerous in the Milky Way. We simulate Galactic white dwarf binary gravitational-wave emission based on distributions from various mock catalogs and determine a complex waveform from the Galactic foreground with $3.5 times 10^{7}$ binaries. We describe the effects from the Galactic binary distribution population across mass, position within the Galaxy, core type, and orbital frequency distribution. We generate the modulated Galactic white dwarf signal detected by textit{LISA} due to its orbital motion, and present a data analysis strategy to address it. The Fisher Information and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods give an estimation of the textit{LISA} noise and the parameters for the different signal classes. We estimate the detectable limits for the future LISA observation of the SGWB in the spectral domain with the 3 textit{LISA} channels $A$, $E$, and $T$. We simultaneously estimate the Galactic foreground, the astrophysical and cosmological backgrounds. Assuming the expected astrophysical background and a Galactic foreground, a cosmological background energy density of around $Omega_{GW,Cosmo} approx 8 times 10^{-13}$ could be detected by LISA. LISA will either detect a cosmologically produced SGWB, or set a limit that will have important consequences.
Cosmic string networks offer one of the best prospects for detection of cosmological gravitational waves (GWs). The combined incoherent GW emission of a large number of string loops leads to a stochastic GW background (SGWB), which encodes the proper
ties of the string network. In this paper we analyze the ability of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) to measure this background, considering leading models of the string networks. We find that LISA will be able to probe cosmic strings with tensions $Gmu gtrsim mathcal{O}(10^{-17})$, improving by about $6$ orders of magnitude current pulsar timing arrays (PTA) constraints, and potentially $3$ orders of magnitude with respect to expected constraints from next generation PTA observatories. We include in our analysis possible modifications of the SGWB spectrum due to different hypotheses regarding cosmic history and the underlying physics of the string network. These include possible modifications in the SGWB spectrum due to changes in the number of relativistic degrees of freedom in the early Universe, the presence of a non-standard equation of state before the onset of radiation domination, or changes to the network dynamics due to a string inter-commutation probability less than unity. In the event of a detection, LISAs frequency band is well-positioned to probe such cosmic events. Our results constitute a thorough exploration of the cosmic string science that will be accessible to LISA.
