We characterize and present the details of the follow-up method used on the most significant outliers of the Hough Einstein@Home all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves [J. Aasi et al Phys. Rev. D 87, 042001 (2013)]. This follow-up method is based on the two-stage approach introduced by [M. Shaltev and R. Prix, Phys. Rev. D 87, 084057 (2013)], consisting of a semicoherent refinement followed by a fully coherent zoom. We quantify the efficiency of the follow-up pipeline using simulated…

We report results of an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves with frequency between 50 and 510 Hz from isolated compact objects, e.g., neutron stars. A new hierarchical multistage approach
Methods to filter out spurious disturbances in continuous-wave searches from gravitational-wave detectors
Semicoherent all-sky searches over year-long observation times for continuous gravitational wave signals produce various thousands of potential periodic source candidates. Efficient methods able to
Postprocessing methods used in the search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the galactic center

The search for continuous gravitational-wave signals requires the development of techniques that can effectively explore the low-significance regions of the candidate set. In this paper we present
Application of a hierarchical MCMC follow-up to Advanced LIGO continuous gravitational-wave candidates

All but five outliers are inconsistent with an astrophysical origin under the standard continuous wave signal model, and four are ascribed to instrumental artifacts and a strong hardware injection present in the data.
Reduced order modelling in searches for continuous gravitational waves - I. Barycentring time delays

The frequencies and phases of emission from extra-solar sources measured by Earth-bound observers are modulated by the motions of the observer with respect to the source, and through relativistic
Comparison of methods for the detection of gravitational waves from unknown neutron stars
• Physics
• 2016
Rapidly rotating neutron stars are promising sources of continuous gravitational wave radiation for the LIGO and Virgo interferometers. The majority of neutron stars in our galaxy have not been
Optimal directed searches for continuous gravitational waves
• Computer Science
• 2016
This paper considers directed searches, i.e., targets for which the sky position is known accurately but the frequency and spin-down parameters are completely unknown, and presents a general framework that allows us to solve all three of these problems.
Recent searches for continuous gravitational waves
Gravitational wave astronomy opened dramatically in September 2015 with the LIGO discovery of a distant and massive binary black hole coalescence. The more recent discovery of a binary neutron star
Bayesian searches for continuous gravitational waves in the frequency domain
This thesis concerns the analysis of continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars with non-axisymmetric rotational motion using data from ground-based interferometric gravitational wave

It is still unknown whether there are families of tight knots whose lengths grow faster than linearly with crossing numbers, but the largest power has been reduced to 3/z, and some other physical models of knots as flattened ropes or strips which exhibit similar length versus complexity power laws are surveyed.
