Continuous gravitational waves signal are one of the missing pieces in gravitational wave astronomy. Typically emitted by fast spinning neutron stars, the detection of this signal can be achieved thanks to the use of robust and sensitive pipelines, along with the enhancement of detectors sensitivities. In this work we present the results of a search for continuous gravitational waves from the Galactic center using LIGO O2 data. The search uses the Band-Sampled-Data directed search pipeline, which performs a semi-coherent wide-parameter-space search, exploiting the robustness of the Frequency-Hough transform algorithm...
