Most all-sky searches for continuous gravitational waves assume the source to be isolated. In this paper, we allow for an unknown companion object in a long-period orbit and opportunistically use previous results from an all-sky search for…
Continuous gravitational-wave signals from isolated non-axisymmetric rotating neutron stars may undergo episodic spin-up events known as glitches. If unmodelled by a search, these can result in missed or misidentified detections. We outline…
