We study the evolution and gravitational wave emission of white dwarf —
black hole accreting binaries with a semi-analytical model. These systems will
evolve across the mHz gravitational wave frequency band and potentially be
detected by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). We identify new
universal relations for this class of binaries, which relate the component
masses to the gravitational wave frequency and its first derivative. Combined
with the high precision measurements possible with LISA, these relations could
allow us to infer the component masses and the luminosity distance of the
source. LISA has therefore the potential to detect and characterize a virtually
unexplored binary population.
