We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs), which can
be produced by fast spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis …

Now that detection of gravitational-wave signals from the coalescence of extra-galactic
compact binary star mergers has become nearly routine, it is intriguing to consider other …

Abstract The Einstein Telescope (ET), a proposed European ground-based gravitational-
wave detector of third-generation, is an evolution of second-generation detectors such as …

The field of gravitational-wave astronomy is now firmly established, with the detection of
multiple compact binary coalescences by the LIGO and Virgo observatories. These …

Non-axisymmetrical deformations of the crust on rapidly rotating neutron stars are one of the
main targets of searches for continuous gravitational waves. The maximum ellipticity, or …

There have been several previous searches for persistent (or continuous) quasi-
monochromatic gravitational waves emitted by a selection of known pulsars using data from …

The recent observations of gravitational waves from the inspiral and merger of binary black
holes herald the era of gravitational-wave astronomy (Abbott et al. 2016b, 2016c). Such …

To date, the LIGO and Virgo observatories have made detections of numerous sources of
gravitational radiation. These detections have been of transient gravitational waves (GWs) …

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 …

Significant progress has been made in recent years on the development of gravitational-
wave detectors. Sources such as coalescing compact binary systems, neutron stars in low …
