Description
Double white dwarf systems have a very broad range of
possible outcomes, which
make them physically very interesting. On the other hand,
they are the most common
compact object binaries in the Galaxy and they may use as
tomographic probes with
both electromagnetic and gravitational waves.
The limiting factor to current studies is the number of
objects known. Notably, the era
of major unprecedented Galactic survey is beginning: I will
show predictions for what
Gaia and LSST will be able to do in terms of number of
objects and precision of
measurements. I will also show the great potential of LISA.
Finally, I will show a first
application of the combined optical and gravitational wave
data sample.
