Scientific paper

Estimates of the ability of the proposed LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) gravitational wave detector to bound the mass of the graviton using observations of binary star systems are extended and improved. We find that for known white dwarf binary star systems, gravitational wave observations by LISA, together with optical observations and analysis, should be able to produce a new upper bound on the graviton mass between five and fifteen times better than current solar system bounds. A binary with optimal characteristics for this measurement would allow an improvement in the present limit by about a factor of fifty.
