Description
The low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1 is a promising source of continuous gravitational waves. Its high X-ray luminosity indicates a large rate of accretion, which may power GW emission. A variety of methods have been developed and applied to search for the signal, which presents challenges because of the unknown signal frequency and residual uncertainties in orbital parameters. I will present search results from the first LIGO Observing run and consider the prospects for future searches.
