Abstract : We carry out a systematic study on inspiraling neutron star binaries having high magnetic fields, tidal influences, and finite eccentricities. While it is generally expected that the orbits of most binary neutron star systems will circularize by the time they enter the observable band of the current ground-based detectors, recent studies have discussed the prospect of the formation of eccentric compact binaries within the observable frequency range, through dynamical capture processes. In this study, we focus on these binary neutron star systems considering strong magnetic fields (~10^{16-18} G). These magnetic fields influence the orbital dynamics, introduce additional tidal deformations, cause dissipation of energy (arising via the motion of magnetic dipoles), and exert attractive or repulsive forces depending on the alignment of magnetic axes. Although previous research has studied the consequences of these factors on gravitational waves separately, this work analyzes their combined influence. We quantify these effects by examining the gravitational wave cycles and evaluating the energy loss rates from electromagnetic and gravitational radiation.
