Gravitational-wave constraints on the equatorial ellipticity of millisecond pulsars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1333

We present a search for continuous gravitational waves from five radio pulsars, comprising three recycled pulsars (PSR J0437-4715, PSR J0711-6830, and PSR J0737-3039A) and two youn…
