Description
The spin of pulsars can be timed with exquisite precision. They are observed to spin-down steadily over long periods but once in a while, they can undergo a rapid and sudden increase in their spin, which is known as a glitch. For some cases, the glitch is followed by a post-glitch recovery. There are several models that predict the emission of continuous gravitational waves from glitches and their recovery and in this talk, I outline a few of them. Using publicly available data, we compare these models and, after accounting for sky location, we are able to provide a list of high priority targets for continuous wave searches.
