The spectral density (Formula presented), as we have defined it, is related to the noise curve (Formula presented) shown in the figure on page 6 by (Formula presented) [P. Bender (private communication)]. Here (Formula presented) is the number of seconds in a year, and (Formula presented) where the (Formula presented) comes from averaging the noise over the sky and the 5 from the fact that the figure in this document is for a signal to noise ratio of 5.
