|  Sources of Gravitational Radiation | 
In General
  > s.a. gravitational radiation [including modified gravity
  theories]; astronomy [multimessenger astronomy].
  * Strongest sources: 2005, The
    strongest predicted one is the tight white dwarf binary RX J0806.3+1527 in Cancer,
    with P = 5.36 min (the shortest known for a binary) and a = 80,000 km
    (S&T).
