Abstract
Stochastic gravitational wave background produced by a stationary coalescin g population of binary neutron stars in the Galaxy is calculated. This back ground is found to constitute a confusion limit within the LISA frequency b and up to a limiting frequency of nu (lim) similar to to 10(-3) HZ, leaving the frequency window similar to 10(-3)-10(-2) Hz open for the potential de tection of cosmological stochastic GWs and of signals involving massive bla ck holes out to cosmological distances.
