Popis: We present a short overview of the formation and evolution of ultra-compact binaries. They are relevant to a surprisingly large number of astrophysical phenomena (binary interactions, mass transfer stability, explosive phenomena such as type Ia supernovae and gravitational waves).
Comment: To appear in proceedings of "370 years of astronomy in Utrecht", Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, April 2-5, 2012 (ASP Conference Series)
