Description
It is currently uncertain how many white dwarf (WD) binaries LISA will be able to detect in the globular clusters (GCs) around the Milky Way, with predictions ranging from zero to dozens. However, there is another question: if there is a WD binary in a GC, would LISA actually be able to resolve it well enough in terms of sky location and distance that the binary could be distinguished from those in the Milky Way disc? We investigate this question using the GW analysis software package GWToolbox and a Milky Way model made using the stellar evolution code SeBa.
