Stellar mass compact object binaries are promising sources of gravitational radiation for the current generation of ground-based detectors, VIRGO and LIGO. Accurate templates for gravitational waveforms are needed in order to extract an event from the VIRGO/LIGO data stream. In the case of relativistic, compact object binaries accurate orbital parameters are necessary in order to produce such templates. Binary systems are affected by their stellar environment and thus the parameters of the binary population of a dense star cluster will be different from those of the field population. We propose to investigate the parameters of relativistic binary populations in dense star clusters using direct N-body simulations with a Post-Newtonian treatment of general relativity for the close binaries.
