Caption: Figure 2.
Detection efficiency of a GW source in the direction of M101, and within the on-source window of SN 2023ixf, for a FAR of less than 1 event in 10 years. The long-lasting bar-mode GW emission model is considered for various peak frequencies and durations. In the left panel Izzϵ is fixed to 0.1 × 1045 g cm2 and the detection efficiency is shown as function of the distance to the source. Horizontal dashed lines show 10%, 50%, and 90% detection efficiencies, and the distances of the Galactic center (GC), Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and and M101 are shown as references. On the right panel, the distance is fixed to M101 and the detection efficiency is shown as function of Izzϵ.
