Application of a Hough search for continuous gravitational waves on data from the fifth LIGO science run

We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range 50-1000 Hz with the first derivative of frequency in the range -8.9 × 10⁻¹⁰ Hz s⁻¹ to zero in two years of data collected during LIGO's fifth science run. Our results employ a Hough transform technique, intro...
