Description
Blind searches for continuous gravitational-wave signals (CWs)
survey broad regions in the parameter-space in order to find
currently unknown sources with possibly no electromagnetic counterpart.
As a result, these searches are amongst the most computationally expensive
searches in the current gravitational-wave data-analysis landscape.
In this work, we revisit the detectability prospects of a theoretical,
nearby population of young, isolated, CW-driven neutron stars (gravitars)
using the current and future generation of ground-based gravitational-wave
detectors. We construct specific search setups following the expected
properties of this population, which result in a sensitivity improvement with
respect to typical all-sky searches.
