New method to search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown neutron stars in binary systems
Nonaxisymmetric, fast-spinning unknown neutron stars in binary systems may emit continuous gravitational waves (nearly monochromatic long-duration signals) which can be detected by ground-based detectors like LIGO and Virgo. In this paper we present a new pipeline, called BinarySkyHough, that can carry out all-sky searches for neutron stars in binary systems …
