With H. A. Bethe, G. E. Brown worked on the merger rate of neutron star binaries for the gravitational wave detection. Their prediction has to be modified significantly due to the observations of [Formula: see text] neutron stars and the detection of gravitational waves. There still, however, remains a possibility that neutron star-low mass black hole binaries are significant sources of gravitational waves for the ground-based detectors. In this paper, I review the evolution of neutron star binaries with super-Eddington accretion and discuss the future prospect.

This chapter provides a brief survey of gravitational-wave astronomy, including the recent recent breakthrough detection. It sets the stage for the rest of the book via simple back-of-the-envelope estimates for different sets of sources. The chapter also describes the first detection of a black hole merger (GW150914) as well as the first observed neutron star binary event (GW170817) and introduces some of the ideas required to understand these breakthroughs.
