Abstract

We analyze the computational costs of searches for continuous monochromatic gravitational waves emitted by rotating neutron stars orbiting a companion object. As a function of the relevant orbital parameters, we address the computational load involved in targeted searches, where the position of the source is known; the results are applied to known binary radio pulsars and Sco-X1.
