Coherent follow-up of Continuous Gravitational-Wave candidates: minimal required observation time

  • 1. Albert-Einstein-Institut, Callinstr. 38, 30167 Hannover (Germany)

Description

We derive two different methods to compute the minimal required integration time of a fully coherent follow-up of candidates produced in wide parameter space semi-coherent searches, such as global correlation StackSlide searches using Einstein-Home. We numerically compare these methods in terms of integration duration and computing cost. In a Monte Carlo study we confirm that we can achieve the required detection probability.
