abstract = "The traditional description of the orbital evolution of
compact-object binaries, like double white dwarfs (DWDs), assumes
that the system is driven only by gravitational-wave (GW)
radiation. However, the high magnetic fields with intensities of
up to gigagausses measured in WDs alert a potential role of the
electromagnetic (EM) emission in the evolution of DWDs. We
evaluate the orbital dynamics of DWDs under the effects of GW
radiation, tidal synchronization, and EM emission by a unipolar
inductor generated by the magnetic primary and the relative motion
of the nonmagnetic secondary. We show that the EM emission can
affect the orbital dynamics for magnetic fields larger than
megagausses. We applied the model to two known DWDs, SDSS
J0651+2844 and ZTF J1539+5027, for which the GW radiation alone
does not fully account for the measured orbital decay rate. We
obtain upper limits to the primarys magnetic field strength, over
which the EM emission causes an orbital decay faster than
observed. The contribution of tidal locking and the EM emission is
comparable, and together they can contribute up to 20% to the
measured orbital decay rate. We show that the gravitational
waveform for a DWD modeled as purely driven by GWs and including
tidal interactions and EM emission can have large relative
dephasing detectable in the mHz regime of frequencies relevant for
space-based detectors like LISA. Therefore, including physics
besides GW radiation in the waveform templates is essential to
calibrate the GW detectors using known sources, e.g., ZTF
J1539+5027, and to infer binary parameters.",
