abstract = "Two mechanisms of gravitational waves (GWs) emission in
fast-spinning white dwarfs (WDs) are investigated: accretion of
matter and magnetic deformation. In both cases, the GW emission is
generated by an asymmetry around the rotation axis of the star.
However, in the first case, the asymmetry is due to the amount of
accreted matter on the magnetic poles, while in the second case it
is due to the intense magnetic field. We have estimated the GW
amplitude and luminosity for three binary systems that have a
fast-spinning magnetized WD, namely, AF Aquarii, AR Scorpii, and
RX J0648.0-4418. We find that, for the first mechanism, the
systems AI( Aquarii and RX J0648.0-4418 can be observed by the
space detectors 13130 and DEMO if they have an amount of accreted
mass of fim > 10-5 Mo. For the second mechanism, the three systems
studied require that the WD have a magnetic field above 10`' G to
emit GWs that can be detected by BBO. We also verified that, in
both mechanisms, the gravitational luminosity has an irrelevant
contribution to the spin-down luminosity of these three systems.
Therefore, other mechanisms of energy emission arc needed to
explain the spin-down of these objects.",
