                         obtained from hydrodynamical simulations in a _-CDM cosmology. On 
                         the other hand, a complete study of the formation of the first 
                         objects and the feedback effects on the ambient medium produced by 
                         them, is not still possible with the present numerical approaches. 
                         However, formation of stars at different redshifts can produce a 
                         stochastic background of gravitational waves in the VIRGO and LIGO 
                         frequency band and so the detection of this background could 
                         directly be used to obtain information about the star formation 
                         rate density of the Universe. Here, we use the Press–Schechter 
                         formalism to calculate the comoving abundance of halos and themass 
                         contained within the collapsed objects of a given mass range. 
                         Then, we study, in particular for a pair of advanced LIGO 
                         observatories, what limits could be imposed on the fraction of 
                         baryons converted into stars within halos that collapse at 
                         redshifts 5 < z < 30.",
