Continuous gravitational wave atlas.

ORAL

Abstract

The newest atlas of continuous gravitational waves will be presented. Because continuous gravitational waves persist it is possible to achieve sensitivity to gravitational strains far smaller than what is seen in short transient events, such as black hole and neutron star collisions. The atlas includes measurements of upper limits, signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), signal parameters of SNR peaks and new polarization specific upper limits. Some of the results have been followed up, but the majority are unexplored.

The atlas data is provided in the MVL file format that allows analysis on small computers, such as your notebook. There is also an MVL version of Gaia DR3 data, which can be used to explore Falcon atlas, or on its own.
