摘要：

Gravitational-wave interferometers are expected to monitor the last three minutes of inspiral and final coalescence of neutron star and black hole binaries at distances approach cosmological, where the event rate may be many per year. Because the binary's accumulated orbital phase can be measured to a fractional accuracy << 10(-3) and relativistic effects axe large, the wave forms will be far more complex and carry more information than has been expected. Improved wave form modeling is needed as a foundation for extracting the waves' information, but is not necessary for wave detection.
