Search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 in the second Advanced LIGO observing run with an improved hidden Markov model

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1134

We present results from a semicoherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using a hidden Markov model (HMM) to track spin wander…

Narrow-band search for gravitational waves from known pulsars using the second LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1135

Isolated spinning neutron stars, asymmetric with respect to their rotation axis, are expected to be sources of continuous gravitational waves. The most sensitive searches for these…
