We present the discoveries of two of AM CVn systems, Gaia14aae and SDSS~J080449.49+161624.8, which show X-ray pulsations at their orbital periods, indicative of magnetically collimated accretion. Both also show indications of higher rates…

In this paper, we focus on the effect of mass-transfer between compact binaries like neutron-star-neutron-star (NS-NS) systems and neutron-star-white-dwarf (NS-WD) systems on gravitational waves (GWs). We adopt the mass quadrupole formula…
