Precision Ephemerides for Gravitational-wave Searches โ€“ III. Revised system parameters of Sco X-1

Neutron stars (NSs) in low-mass X-ray binaries are considered promising candidate sources of continuous gravitational waves. These NSs are typically rotating many hundreds of times a second. The process of accretion can potentially generate and support non-axisymmetric distortions to the compact object, resulting in persistent emission of gravitational waves. We โ€ฆ
