Cunha et al. (2018) recently reexamined the possibility of detecting gravitational waves from exoplanets, claiming that three ultra-short period systems would be observable by LISA. We revisit their analysis and conclude that the currently known exoplanetary systems are unlikely to be detectable, even assuming a LISA observation time $T_{rm obs}=4$ yrs. Conclusive statements on the detectability of one of these systems, GP Com b, will require better knowledge of the systems properties, as well as more careful modeling of both LISAs response and the galactic confusion noise. Still, the possibility of exoplanet detection with LISA is interesting enough to warrant further study, as gravitational waves could yield dynamical properties that are difficult to constrain with electromagnetic observations.

In the last two decades, thousands of extrasolar planets were discovered based on different observational techniques, and their number must increase substantially in virtue of the ongoing and near-future approved missions and facilities. It is shown
that interesting signatures of binary systems from nearby exoplanets and their parent stars can also be obtained measuring the pattern of gravitational waves that will be made available by the new generation of detectors including the space-based LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) observatory. As an example, a subset of exoplanets with extremely short periods (less than 80 min) is discussed. All of them have gravitational luminosity, $L_{GW} sim 10^{30}$ $erg/s$, strain $h sim 10^{-22}$, frequencies $f_{gw} > 10^{-4}$Hz, and, as such, are within the standard sensitivity curve of LISA. Our analysis suggests that the emitted gravitational wave pattern may also provide an efficient tool to discover ultra short period exoplanets.
Wong et al. (2018) recently performed an encouraging criticism to our paper Gravitational waves from ultra-short period exoplanets (Cunha, Silva, Lima 2018) exploring the potentialities of a subset of exoplanets with extremely short periods (less tha
n 80 min) as a possible scientific target to the planned space-based LISA observatory. Here we call attention to some subtleties and limitations underlying the basic criticism which in our view were not properly stressed in their comment. Particularly, simple estimates show that a sphere encircling the Earth with a radius of 250 pc may accommodate a population $ sim 10^{4}$ ultra-short period exoplanets with characteristic strain of the same order or higher than the ones analyzed in our paper. This means that the question related to the gravitational wave pattern of ultra-short period exoplanets may be surpassed near future by the LISA instrument with new and more definitive data.
We investigate the possibility of detecting planetary or stellar companions orbiting white dwarf binaries using the LISA gravitational radiation detector. Specifically, we consider the acceleration of the barycenter of the white dwarf binary due to t
he orbiting third body as well as the effect of changes in the tidal field across the binary due to the perturbers eccentric orbit. We find that the movement of the barycenter is detectable for both stellar and planetary mass objects. If circumbinary planets occur with frequencies similar to gas giant planets around isolated main sequence stars, then we expect to find of order 10 such planets in four years of LISA observations. For a longer, ten-year mission the accessible parameter space for planetary mass, orbital period, and binary orbital period grows and LISAs associated yield increases to ~100 expected detections.
Recently, Tamanini & Danielski (2019) discussed the possibility to detect circumbinary exoplanets (CBPs) orbiting double white dwarfs (DWDs) with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). Extending their methods and criteria, we discuss the pros
pects for detecting exoplanets around DWDs not only by LISA, but also by Taiji, a Chinese space-borne gravitational-wave (GW) mission which has a slightly better sensitivity at low frequencies. We first explore how different binary masses and mass ratios affect the abilities of LISA and Taiji to detect CBPs. Second, for certain known detached DWDs with high signal-to-noise ratios, we quantify the possibility of CBP detections around them. Third, based on the DWD population obtained from the Mock LISA Data Challenge, we present basic assessments of the CBP detections in our Galaxy during a 4-year mission time for LISA and Taiji. We discuss the constraints on the detectable zone of each system, as well as the distributions of the inner/outer edge of the detectable zone. Based on the DWD population, we further inject two different planet distributions with an occurrence rate of $50%$ and constrain the total detection rates. We finally briefly discuss the prospects for detecting habitable CBPs around DWDs with a simplified model. These results can provide helpful inputs for upcoming exoplanetary projects and help analyze planetary systems after the common envelope phase.
The Galactic population of close white dwarf binaries is expected to provide the largest number of gravitational wave sources for low frequency detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). Current data analysis techniques have dem
onstrated the capability of resolving on the order of $10^4$ white dwarf binaries from a 2 year observation. Resolved binaries are either at high frequencies or large amplitudes. Such systems are more likely to be high-mass binaries, a subset of which will be progenitors of SNe Ia in the double degenerate scenario. We report on results of a study of the properties of resolved binaries using a population synthesis model of the Galactic white dwarf binaries and a LISA data analysis algorithm using Mock LISA Data Challenge tools.
