Description
Second-generation ground-based detectors, Advanced-LIGO and Advanced-Virgo, opened the window of gravitational wave astronomy. Over the past seven years, we witnessed GW astronomy begin with the first detection and rapidly emerge as a well-established field of transient astronomy. However, we have not detected any persistent gravitational wave (GW) signal. Scorpius X-1, the brightest low-mass X-ray binary source, is one of the strongest candidates for detecting a continuous gravitational wave (CW) signal in the near future. In this presentation, I will provide a brief overview of a new detection pipeline suitable to search CW signals over the largely unknown parameter space of Scorpius X-1. In this context, I will briefly mention the relevance and importance of electromagnetic observations to enhance our search efficiency and detection probability.
