Exploring the Sky with Continuous Gravitational Wave Atlases.

ORAL

Abstract

We will present data from the latest continuous gravitational wave atlases. Unlike short transient events, such as black hole and neutron star collisions, continuous gravitational waves persist over time, enabling analysis of far smaller gravitational strains. Each atlas provides comprehensive measurements, including upper limits, signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), signal parameters of SNR peaks, and polarization-specific upper limits. While some of these results have been followed up, the majority remain unexplored, offering exciting opportunities for further investigations.

The atlas data is provided in the MVL file format, designed for efficient analysis even on smaller computers, such as personal notebooks. Additionally, an MVL version of the Gaia DR3 data is available, which can be used to explore the Falcon atlas or analyzed independently.
