Abstract
We discuss the emission of gravitational waves from binary systems of compact objects and associated phenomena such as the shrinking of the orbits and the merger times. Gravitational radiation associated with supermassive black holes is also covered. Apart from the usual binary systems, we also consider new sources like binary dark matter objects. The expected gravitational wave backgrounds from these various sources (at different frequencies) are estimated.
