SNR contours for continuous GW detection from rapidly spinning NSs at the Galactic Center, shown in the spin period–equatorial ellipticity parameter space (Ps, ϵ) for a 4 yr observation of Cosmic Explorer. The green shaded region indicates the detectable parameter space (assuming an SNR threshold of ρNS = 5). NSs spinning at Ps = 10 ms are detectable with ellipticities as small as ϵ ∼ 10−8.
