First all-sky search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems using Advanced LIGO data [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08411


Rotating neutron stars can emit continuous gravitational waves, which have not yet been detected. We present a search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown neutron stars in binary systems with orbital period between 15 and 45 days. This is the first time that Advanced LIGO data and the recently developed BinarySkyHough pipeline have been used in a search of this kind. No detections are reported, and upper limits on the gravitational wave amplitude are calculated, which improve the previous results by a factor of 17.
