- The ideal continuous wave source would be a nearby, rotating neutron star, but how close could a compact object, such as a black hole or neutron star be to the Earth without being detected? We present a method to detect the effects of the Einstein delay caused by a massive compact object, such as a neutron star or a black hole in pulsar timings, and thus provide a means to set a lower limit on the distance of the nearest compact object to the Earth.
