LIGO, VIRGO AND KAGRA RELEASE NEW RESULTS FROM SEARCHES FOR GRAVITATIONAL WAVES FROM X-RAY PULSARS

22 Sep 2021 — In a paper recently submitted to the arXiv, the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA Collaborations released the results of searches for continuous gravitational waves from 20 accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars, using data from the third observing run of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. Although no signals were detected, this analysis is the most comprehensive and sensitive search to date for gravitational waves from this type of source. The science summary for this paper is also available here.
