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…

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…

Generalized parameter-space metrics for continuous gravitational-wave searches

P. B. Covas, R. Prix

Many searches for continuous gravitational waves face significant computational challenges due to the need to explore large parameter spaces characterized by unknown parameters. Pa…

Search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown neutron stars in binary systems with long orbital periods in O3 data

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

Gravitational waves emitted by asymmetric rotating neutron stars are the primary targets of continuous gravitational-wave searches. Neutron stars in binary systems are particularly…

A new framework to follow up candidates from continuous gravitational-wave searches

P. B. Covas, R. Prix, J. Martins

Searches for continuous gravitational waves from unknown neutron stars are limited in sensitivity due to their high computational cost. For this reason, developing new methods or i…

Bayesian -statistic-based parameter estimation of continuous gravitational waves from known pulsars

A. Ashok, P. B. Covas, R. Prix +1

We present a new method and implementation to obtain Bayesian posteriors on the amplitude parameters of continuous-gravitational waves emitted by known pu…
