Properties of double neutron stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 September 2008
Abstract
We summarize our studies on properties of double neutron stars observable in gravitational waves and in the radio. Binary population synthesis is used to calculate expected masses of neutron stars in binary systems taking into account the selection efects specific to each method of detection. We discuss recent relativistic results on final phase of inspiral of neutron star binaries showing how we can impose constraints on the equation of state of dense nuclear matter with gravitational wave observations.
