* Result: In most calculations and simulations, the eccentricity quickly goes down to ~ 0.1, despite some contrary claim (& F Ryan); The emission rate depends on the matter equation of state (through the "chirp mass"

Mchirp:= \(m_{\rm red}^{3/5}\, M_{\rm tot}^{2/5} = (m_1 m_2)^{3/5}/(m_1+m_2)^{1/5}\) .

* Abundance: The estimated number at any given time is 100/(200 Mpc)3.
