Talk	Oral abstract	Title	Search for continuous gravitational waves from known neutron stars: status and future prospects
Co-authors	LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration
Abstract	In this talk I will describe the main results obtained in the search for continuous gravitational wave signals from known neutron stars with the first generation of interferometric detectors and describe prospects for detection with the next "advanced" generation. The role of photon astronomy in helping us to narrow down the parameter space to be explored when targeting potentially interesting sources and in the interpretation of results will be discussed.
