Faster search for long gravitational-wave transients: GPU implementation of the transient F-statistic

Understand

The F-statistic is an established method to search for continuous gravitational waves from spinning neutron stars.

• Prix et al.
• (2011) introduced a variant for transient quasi-monochromatic signals.
• Possible astrophysical scenarios for such transients include glitching pulsars, newborn neutron stars and accreting systems.
