Abstract

The present work is devoted to the detection of monochromatic gravitational wave signals emitted by pulsars using ALLEGRO's data detector. We will present the region (in frequency) of millisecond pulsars of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104) in the band of detector. With this result it was possible to analyse the data in the frequency ranges of the pulsars J1748-2446L and J1342+2822c, searching for annual Doppler variations using power spectrum estimates for the year 1999. We tested this method injecting a simulated signal in real data and we were able to detect it.
