Binary Neutron Stars

Binary Neutron Stars is a astrophysical system consisting of two neutron stars in a close orbital configuration around a common center of mass, distinguished from other binary systems by the extreme density and compactness of both components, enabling unique phenomena such as gravitational wave emission and potential merger into black holes or hypermassive neutron stars.
