Gravitational Radiation
Degenerate Dwarf Binaries as Promising, Detectable Sources of Gravitational Radiation
A recent preliminary design for a space based laser interferometer indicates that sources of this kind, are potentially detectable. We discuss the characteristics likely to be seen in such an antenna from degenerate dwarf binaries, assuming theoretical birth rates.

Gravitational Waves Detected! Historic LIGO Success Strikes Chord with Larry Smarr – HPC Wire
The event that created these particular gravitational waves - the spiraling of two black holes into each other about 1.3 billion light-years away (or 1.3 billion years ago)- was the most energetic event ever detected.
