The magnetic fields of white dwarfs distort their shape generating an
anisotropic moment of inertia. A magnetized white dwarf which rotates obliquely
relative to the symmetry axis has a mass quadrupole moment which varies in
time, so it will emit gravitational radiation. LISA may be able to detect the
gravitational waves from two nearby, quickly rotating white dwarfs.
