"The relationship between the orbital period, T, and the separation between the neutron stars, a, is given by Kepler's Law: the period squared is proportional to the separation cubed.
T2 = (4π2/GM) a3
where M = m1+m2 is the combined mass of the two stars, and G is the universal gravitational constant.
The total power being radiated in gravitational waves is inversely proportional to the fifth power of the separation."
