Binary Systems
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.
The Binary Pulsar — Physical Processes, Possible Companions, And Evolutionary Histories
Possible evolutionary histories are discussed. The most probable present system consists of two neutron stars, the end result of an X-ray binary phase followed by a double core star phase.
