We compute the emission of gravitational radiation from pulsating white dwarfs. This is done by using an up-to-date stellar evolutionary code coupled with a state-of-the-art pulsational code. The emission of gravitational waves is computed for a standard 0.6 Mo white dwarf with a liquid carbon-oxygen core and a hydrogen-rich envelope; for a massive DA white dwarf with a partially crystallized core for which various l = 2 modes have been observed (BPM 37093) and for PG 1159-035; the prototype of the GW Vir class of variable stars; for which several quadrupole modes have been observed as well. We find that these stars do not radiate sizeable amounts of gravitational waves through their observed pulsation g-modes; in line with previous studies. We also explore the possibility of detecting gravitational waves radiated by the f-mode and the p-modes. We find that in this case the gravitational wave signal is very large and; hence; the modes decay very rapidly. We also discuss the possible implications of our calculations for the detection of gravitational waves from pulsating white dwarfs within the framework of future space-borne interferometers like LISA. © ESO 2006;
