The G347.3-0.5 outlier from O3: a follow-up case study for continuous gravitational-wave candidates
L. Mirasola, F. Amicucci, M. Carrio +31
We report a multi-pipeline follow-up study of the continuous gravitational-wave (CW) outlier identified by the Ming et al. Einstein@Home directed search for the young supernova rem…
Advanced Virgo during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA fourth observing run
Virgo Collaboration, F Acernese, A Agapito +546
The paper reports on Advanced Virgo's participation in the fourth observing run (O4) of the global gravitational‑wave detector network, describing the commissioning of its new sign…
GFH-v2 Pipeline for Searches of Long-Transient Gravitational Waves from Newborn Magnetars
Sandhya Sajith Menon, Lorenzo Pierini, Pia Astone +11
This paper presents an enhanced methodology for searching long transient gravitational waves associated with a newborn magnetar, with particular focus on the regime in which the ea…
Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview
F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578
This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
py5vec: a modular Python package for the 5-vector method to search for continuous gravitational waves
Luca D'Onofrio, Federico Muciaccia, Lorenzo Mirasola +7
We present \texttt{py5vec}, a Python package for implementing and extending the 5-vector method, used to search for continuous gravitational wave (CW) signals. We also provide a co…
A semi-coherent search for optical pulsations from Scorpius X-1
Riccardo La Placa, Alessandro Papitto, Giulia Illiano +14
The emission of continuous gravitational waves (CWs) possibly explains why pulsars spinning with a period shorter than a millisecond have not been observed so far. Neutron stars ac…
