Figure 23: A comparison between the GW amplitude h(f) for various sources and the LIGO-II sensitivity curve based on the analytic estimates from FHH [106]. See the text for details regarding the computations of h. The SNe sources at 10 Mpc; and the Population III sources at a luminosity distance of ∼ 50 Gpc. Secular bar-mode sources are identified with an (s), dynamical bar modes with a (d). This assumes strong bar modes exist, which has not been demonstrated robustly.
