Abstract
Non-axisymmetric spinning Neutron Stars are expected to be sources of continuous gravitational waves. Only a small fraction of the total number of neutron stars believed to exist in the Galaxy is observed through their electromagnetic emission. This number steadily increasing recently, thanks to the Fermi Large Area Telescope and to radio surveys. The Fermi Large Area Telescope catalogue contains several potentially interesting sources for gravitational-wave searches, such as supernova remnants and the “unassociated” sources. In order to look for continuous gravitational signals the knowledge of the NS parameters, i.e. rotational frequency and position, is needed. Depending on the degree of accuracy with which these parameters are known, several types of searches can be performed. In this paper I will discuss the perspectives and considerations of continuous gravitational-wave searches for Fermi LAT sources.
