چکیده
We present results of the all-sky search for gravitational-wave signals from spinning neutron stars in the data of the EXPLORER resonant bar detector. Our data analysis technique was based on the maximum likelihood detection method. We briefly describe the theoretical methods that we used in our search. The main result of our analysis is an upper limit of 2 × 10 −23 for the dimensionless amplitude of the continuous gravitational-wave signals coming from any direction in the sky and in the narrow frequency band from 921.00 Hz to 921.76 Hz.

A search for periodic gravitational-wave signals from isolated neutron stars in the NAUTILUS detector data is presented. We have analyzed half a year of data over the frequency band 〈922.2; 923.2〉Hz, the spindown range 〈−1.463 × 10; 0〉Hz/s and over the entire sky. We have divided the data into 2 day stretches and we have analyzed each stretch coherently using matched filtering. We have imposed ...

Andersson et al. and Bildsten proposed that the spin of accreting neutron stars is limited by removal of angular momentum by gravitational radiation which increases dramatically with the spin frequency of the star. Both Bildsten and Andersson et al. argued that the r−modes of the neutron star for sufficiently quickly rotating and hot neutron stars will grow due to the emission of gravitational ...

The space of phase-parameters (sky-position, frequency, spindowns) of a coherent matched-filtering search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars shows strong global correlations (“circles in the sky”). In the local limit this can be analysed in terms of a parameter-space metric, but the global properties are less well studied. In this work we report on our recent progres...
متن کاملPopulation synthesis of old neutron stars in the Galaxy
The paucity of old isolated accreting neutron stars in ROSAT observations is used to derive a lower limit on the mean velocity of neutron stars at birth. The secular evolution of the population is simulated following the paths of a statistical sample of stars for different values of the initial kick velocity, drawn from an isotropic Gaussian distribution with mean velocity 0 ≤ V ≤ 550 km s −1. ...
