Characteristic strains h ₀ from Equation (20) as a function of the poloidal-to-total magnetic energy ratio, Λ, using the dipolar Tolman-VII model (Equation (21)) of Mastrano et al. (2011) for LSI. The colored bands represent the prediction for different B _p , with the lower curves having M _⋆ = 1.4 M _⊙ and R _⋆ = 10 km and the upper curves having M _⋆ = 2 M _⊙ and R _⋆ = 14 km. Overlaid are the detection thresholds for aLIGO and ET for a variety of different observation times T _obs, as indicated by the labeled dashed lines.
