Description
The recent sensitivity improvements of the worldwide advanced gravitational-wave detector network has allowed us to detect the first transient gravitational-wave signal, marking thus the official beginning of the gravitational-wave astronomy. We have then started to hone the comprehension of some of the objects populating our Universe. A broader picture would be however provided by the detection of continuous-wave signals, which are emitted by rotating neutron stars with a non-axisymmetric deformation.
After presenting the most stringent results obtained to date by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration, I will focus on the prospects for detecting continuous gravitational waves by mainly exploiting innovative strategies to search for such class of signals in the current long-awaited advanced detector era.
