Long baseline interferometers to detect gravitational waves such as TAMA300 [1], GEO600 [2], VIRGO [3], LIGO [4] will be in operation by the end of this century or the beginning of the 21st century. One of the most important sources of gravitational waves for such detectors are coalescing binary neutron stars. PSR1913+16 is the first binary neutron stars found by Hulse and Taylor. The existence...

It is well known that thermally pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch stars with low mass play a relevant role in the chemical evolution. They have synthesized about 30% of the galactic carbon and provide an important contribution to the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements (A>80). The relevant nucleosynthesis site is the He-rich intermediate zone (less than 10 M⊙), where α(2α, γ) C reactions and slow n...

The discovery of millisecond pulsations from neutron stars in low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) systems has substantiated the theoretical prediction that links millisecond radio pulsars (MSRPs) and LMXBs. Since then, the process that produces millisecond radio pulsars from LMXBs, followed by spin-down due to dipole radiation has been conceived as the ’standard evolution’ of millisecond pulsars. Howe...

This article is intended to provide a pedagogical account of issues related to, and recent work on, grav-itational waves from coalescing compact binaries (composed of neutron stars and/or black holes). These waves are the most promising for kilometer-size interferometric detectors such as LIGO and VIRGO. Topics discussed include: interferometric detectors and their noise; coalescing compact bin...
