With current terrestrial gravitational wave detectors working at initial design sensitivities, and upgrades and space missions planned, it is likely that in the next five to ten years gravitational radiation will be detected directly from a variety of classes of objects. The most confidently expected of these classes is compact binaries, involving neutron stars or black holes. Detection of their coalescence, or their long-term orbits, has the potential to inform us about the evolutionary history of compact binaries and possibly even star formation over the past several billion years. We review what is currently known about compact binaries as sources of gravitational radiation, as well as the current uncertainties and what we expect to learn from future detections of gravitational waves from these systems.
