Search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with a hidden Markov model in O3 LIGO data Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven University of Antwerp
Results are presented for a semi-coherent search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1, using a hidden Markov model (HMM) to allow for spin wandering. This search improves on previous HMM-based searches of Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) data by including the orbital period in the search template grid, and by analyzing data from the latest (third) observing run (O3). In the ...
