Description

Gravitational-wave detections with the LIGO-Virgo network of Advanced interferometers had a significant impact in many fields of science: astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear physics and fundamental physics. Compact binaries coalescence signals, the only type of signals detected so far, are only a small fraction of possible detectable gravitational waves. An interesting family of yet undetected signals, and the ones that I will consider in this talk, are the so-called continuous waves. The main sources of continuous wave signals are galactic, fast-spinning isolated neutron stars or potential dark matter candidates. In this talk, I will review the status and the latest results from Advanced detectors data.
