Inspiral de púlsar binario
Binaria kepleriana con decaimiento GW de Peters–Mathews: Ṗ, tiempo de coalescencia y órbita animada.
About this tool
Model a circular neutron-star binary losing energy to gravitational waves via the Peters–Mathews formula:
da/dt = −(64/5) G³ μ M² /(c⁵ a³)
From Kepler’s law, Ṗ/P = (3/2) ȧ/a. Coalescence time from the current separation is
t_c = (5/256) c⁵ a⁴ /(G³ μ M²)
Presets include Hulse–Taylor–like parameters. The WebGL view shows the shrinking orbit (time-accelerated). Press Run to animate. Eccentricity and spin are neglected.
