Abstract The main features of continuous gravitational radiation bathing the Earth has been evaluated for a set of 558 pulsars. In particular, the maximum gravitational wave background and the maximum gravitational wave emission have been evaluated for each source and compared with the projected sensitivities of the planned Earth based very long baseline interferometric antennas for gravitational wave detection, like VIRGO and LIGO. This study shows that such detectors have a good chance of detecting gravitational waves emitted from this class of astrophysical sources.
