Description
In this talk, I will present the latest results by the LIGO-Virgo-Kagra
Collaboration for the targeted search for continuous gravitational waves
(GWs) from 236 pulsars. I will also present the first results using the
5n-vector method on the same set of pulsars. Using data from the third
observing run of LIGO and Virgo (O3) combined with data from the second
observing run (O2), no evidence of GWs was found. We set detection upper limits on the GW amplitude and on the pulsar ellipticity at 95% confidence level. 23 of the
analyzed pulsars have strain amplitudes that are lower than the limits
calculated from their electromagnetically measured spin-down rates.
