Abstract: (arXiv)
We describe the possible electromagnetic signals expected from the magnetospheric interactions of a neutron star binary prior to merger. We find that both radio and X-ray signals of detectable strength are possible. We discuss possible links with the phenomenon of gamma-ray bursts and describe the prospects for direct detection of these signals in searches for radio and X-ray transients.References(51)
