All-Sky Search for Gravitational-wave Signals from Neutron Stars

This is a new version of our earlier one-page site. It presents all-sky searches for continuous gravitational signals from spinning neutron stars in data from the EXPLORER and NAUTILUS bar detectors, and touches upon our contribution to the Einstein@Home project. We give some technical details about methods, software and computers used, as well as report on progresses made so far.

I.  The Searches 1. All-sky search of EXPLORER detector data 2. All-sky search of NAUTILUS detector data  (see computation progress below)  II.  Participation in VIRGO project III.  Ephemeris and Other Software IV.  Einstein@Home Contribution  V.  Publications

Nautilus Search Progress

In this graph the abscissa axis is scaled with the consecutive number of a 2-day sidereal time slot and the ordinate axis is scaled with the percentage of computations completed (by the date and time indicated in the lower left corner) for the bins represented by the green bars. The red bars stand for corrupt data and the white space signify data still awaiting analysis. (On 8th August 2007 the search ended.)
