Description

The next breakthrough in gravitational wave astronomy may be the first discovery of continuous gravitational waves. I will review the data analysis methods used to search for continuous gravitational waves since the early days of LIGO and Virgo. I will present an overview of continuous gravitational wave search results that have been achieved to date, and show how they illustrate the various trade-offs considered in search setup and design. Finally, I will demonstrate a few practical data analysis tools.
