Gravitational-wave detections enable measurements of the frequency of coalescence of compact objects, such as neutron stars and black holes. Electromagnetic observations and theoretical models further constrain the coalescence rate of binary systems containing neutron stars.
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 coalescence rate of binaries containing neutron stars is further constrained by electromagnetic observations, including Galactic radio binary pulsars and short gamma-ray bursts. Meanwhile, increasingly sophisticated models of compact objects merging through a variety of evolutionary channels produce a range of theoretically predicted rates. Rapid improvements in instrument sensitivity, along with plans for new and improved surveys, make this an opportune time to summarise the existing observational and theoretical knowledge of compact-binary coalescence rates.
