Rates of compact object coalescences

I Mandel, FS Broekgaarden - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2022 - Springer
Gravitational-wave detections are enabling measurements of the rate of coalescences of
binaries composed of two compact objects—neutron stars and/or black holes. The …

Formation and evolution of binary and millisecond radio pulsars

D Bhattacharya, EPJ van den Heuvel - Physics Reports, 1991 - Elsevier
We review the various ways in which binary pulsars, millisecond pulsars and pulsars in
globular clusters may have formed. To this end the formation processes of neutron stars in …
