Abstract
The number density of stars in the cores of globular clusters is high enough for close encounters between stars to be frequent. These encounters may lead to the formation of binaries. Those binaries which do not easily form via the evolution of primordial main-sequence star binaries, and are therefore rare in the galactic disk, can be common in globular clusters. Examples of such binaries are the low-mass X-ray binaries. Such binaries may evolve into radiopulsars.
