Loosely coherent search in LIGO O1 data for continuous gravitational waves from Terzan 5 and the galactic center

Vladimir Dergachev, Maria Alessandra Papa, Benjamin Steltner +1

We report results of a search for continuous gravitational waves from a region covering the globular cluster Terzan 5 and the galactic center. Continuous gravitational waves are ex…

Density-clustering of continuous gravitational wave candidates from large surveys

Benjamin Steltner, Thorben Menne, Maria Alessandra Papa +1

Searches for continuous gravitational waves target nearly monochromatic gravitational wave emission from e.g. non-axysmmetric fast-spinning neutron stars. Broad surveys often requi…

Search for continuous gravitational waves from the pulsar J0435+3233

Brian McGloughlin, Jing Ming, Maria Alessandra Papa +6

We perform a search for continuous gravitational waves from J0435+3233 using LIGO O4a public data. J0435+3233 is unique among millisecond pulsars as it exhibits an exceptionally la…

High-frequency continuous gravitational waves searched in LIGO O3 public data with Einstein@Home

Brian McGloughlin, Benjamin Steltner, Jasper Martins +6

We search for nearly-monochromatic gravitational wave signals with frequencies and spin-down $-2.7\times10^{-9}~\textrm{Hz}\,\tex…

Results from an Einstein@Home search for continuous gravitational waves from G347.3 at low frequencies in LIGO O2 data

Jing Ming, Maria Alessandra Papa, Heinz-Bernd Eggenstein +5

We present results of a search for periodic gravitational wave signals with frequency between 20 and 400 Hz, from the neutron star in the supernova remnant G347.3-0.5, using LIGO O…

Bayesian Framework to Follow-up Continuous Gravitational Wave Candidates from Deep Surveys

Jasper Martins, Maria Alessandra Papa, Benjamin Steltner +2

Broad all-sky searches for continuous gravitational waves have high computational costs and require hierarchical pipelines. The sensitivity of these approaches is set by the initia…

Identification and removal of non-Gaussian noise transients for gravitational wave searches

Benjamin Steltner, Maria Alessandra Papa, Heinz-Bernd Eggenstein

We present a new method to remove non-Gaussian noise transients in gravitational wave data. The method does not rely on any a-priori knowledge on the amplitude or d…

New searches for continuous gravitational waves from seven fast pulsars

Anjana Ashok, Banafsheh Beheshtipour, Maria Alessandra Papa +6

We conduct searches for continuous gravitational waves from seven pulsars, that have not been targeted in continuous wave searches of Advanced LIGO data before. We target emission…

Einstein@Home all-sky "bucket" search for continuous gravitational waves in LIGO O3 public data

Brian McGloughlin, Jasper Martins, Benjamin Steltner +5

We conduct an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves using LIGO O3 public data from the Hanford and Livingston detectors. We search for nearly-monochromatic signals with…

Pulsar Discoveries from the TRAPUM UHF Survey of Fermi-LAT Sources

Tinn Thongmeearkom, Colin J. Clark, Rene P. Breton +25

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) provides advantages for radio pulsar searches by enabling efficient target selection. We can confidently point radio telescopes to the position…
