Bayesian estimation of pulsar parameters from gravitational wave data

Abstract

We present a method of searching for, and parametrizing, signals from known radio pulsars in data from interferometric gravitational wave detectors. This method has been applied to data from the LIGO and GEO 600 detectors to set upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from several radio pulsars. Here we discuss the nature of the signal and the performance of the technique on simulated data. We show how to perform a coherent multiple detector analysis and give some insight into the covariance between the signal parameters.
