Precision Ephemerides for Gravitational-wave Searches – IV. Corrected and refined ephemeris for Scorpius X-1

ABSTRACT Low-mass X-ray binaries have long been theorized as potential sources of continuous gravitational-wave radiation, yet there is no observational evidence from recent LIGO/Virgo observing runs. Even for the theoretically ‘loudest’ source, Sco X-1, the upper limit on gravitational-wave strain has been pushed ever lower. Such searches require precise measurements …
