Figure 2: A comparison between the GW amplitude h(f) for various sources and the LIGO-II sensitivity curve. See the text for details regarding the computations of h. The AIC sources are assumed to be located at a distance of 100 Mpc; 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).
