Gravitational-wave astronomy is a new field of astronomy initiated in 2015 by detecting gravitational waves emitted by two colliding black holes. One yet-undetected type of gravitational waves are continuous-type gravitational waves emitted by rotating single neutron stars in our Galaxy. Several data-analysis pipelines for searching this type of gravitational waves in data collected by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA detectors already exist, and the Polish Virgo-Polgraw group is developing a new pipeline based on the use of the so-called F-statistic derived by Jaranowski, Królak and Schutz. This talk will provide an overview of the sources and properties of continuous-type gravitational waves and present the Virgo-Polgraw group's pipeline aimed at the narrow-band search for gravitational waves from known pulsars.
