Compact Binary Coalescence

Compact Binary Coalescence is a dynamical astrophysical process, within the framework of general relativity and the post-Newtonian approximation, in which two compact objects—such as neutron stars or black holes—lose orbital energy through gravitational wave emission, inspiral, and ultimately merge into a single compact object.
