Description

Spinning neutron stars are sources of long-duration continuous waves that may be detected by interferometric detectors. We focus on long, but not infinite duration signals and derive the precise signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when the duration is not a priori known. We illustrate the effect of gaps in the data on the SNR.
