Abstract:

Cross-correlation of gravitational-wave (GW) data streams is the standard technique to search for stochastic backgrounds, and has also been applied to searches for GW bursts. I describe the recent extension of this method to search for long-lived quasiperiodic gravitational waves, taking into account features of the signal model.
