Close Binaries with Two Compact Objects
Vassiliki Kalogera
Abstract
The coalescence of close binary systems with two compact objects (neutron stars and black holes) are considered to be promising sources of gravitational waves for the currently built laser interferometers. Here, I review the current Galactic coalescence estimates derived both theoretically and empirically. I discuss the uncertainties involved as well as ways of obtaining an upper limit to the coalescence rate of two neutron stars.
