<P>This graduate-level textbook discusses the astrophysics of binary star systems and their evolution. It is an up-to-date textbook on the astrophysics and evolution of binary star systems. Theoretical astrophysicists cover a wide range of phenomena and processes, including mass transfer and ejection, common envelopes, novae and supernovae, X-ray binaries, millisecond radio pulsars, and gravitational wave (GW) sources, and their links to stellar evolution. The authors walk through the observed properties and evolution of different types of binaries, with special emphasis on those containing compact objects (neutron stars, black holes, and white dwarfs). Attention is given to the formation mechanisms of GW sources—merging double neutron stars and black holes as well as ultra-compact GW binaries hosting white dwarfs—and to the progenitors of these sources and how they are observed with radio telescopes, X-ray satellites, and GW detectors (LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, Einstein Telescope, Cosmic Explorer, and LISA). Supported by illustrations, equations, and exercises, the book combines theory and observations to guide readers through the wonders of a field that will play a central role in modern astrophysics for decades to come. Includes 465 equations, 47 tables, and 350+ figures, more than 80 exercises (analytical, numerical, and computational), and over 2,500 extensive, up-to-date references.</P>
