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…

Wide parameter-space O3 search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown neutron stars in binary systems

P. B. Covas, M. A. Papa, R. Prix

Continuous gravitational waves, i.e., persistent and nearly-monochromatic signals emitted by asymmetric spinning neutron stars, remain elusive. Searches for these signals from unkn…

Observational constraints on the spin/anisotropy of the CCOs of Cassiopeia A, Vela Jr. and G347.3-0.5 and a single surviving continuous gravitational wave candidate

Jing Ming, Maria Alessandra Papa, Heinz-Bernd Eggenstein +7

We carry out the deepest and broadest search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from three neutron stars at the center of the supernova remnants Cassiopeia A, Vela Jr., and…

Analytic weak-signal approximation of the Bayes factor for continuous gravitational waves

Reinhard Prix

We generalize the targeted -statistic for continuous gravitational waves by modeling the -prior as a half-Gaussian distribution with scale parameter . This app…

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…

Transformer Networks for Continuous Gravitational-wave Searches

Prasanna. M. Joshi, Reinhard Prix

Wide-parameter-space searches for continuous gravitational waves using semi-coherent matched-filter methods require enormous computing power, which limits their achievable sensitiv…
