Binary Orbital Decay

Binary Orbital Decay is a physical phenomenon in astrophysics wherein the orbital separation between two compact objects in a binary star system gradually decreases over time due to the emission of gravitational radiation or mass transfer, leading to an increase in orbital frequency and eventual coalescence.
