Abstract: (arXiv)

We use the latest all-sky continuous gravitational-wave (CW) searches to estimate constraints on the sub-kiloparsec population of unknown neutron stars (NS). We then extend this analysis to the forthcoming LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing runs and the third generation (3G) of ground-based interferometric detectors (Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer). We find that sources with ellipticities greater than

\epsilon \gtrsim 10^{-7}

can be well-constrained by current and future detectors regardless of their frequency. 3G detectors will extend these constraints down to

\epsilon \gtrsim 10^{-8}

across the whole sensitive band and

\epsilon \gtrsim 10^{-9}

above

1\,\textrm{kHz}

. We do not expect

\epsilon \lesssim 10^{-8}

sources to be constrained below

1\,\textrm{kHz}

. Finally, we discuss the potential impact of using astronomical priors on all-sky searches in terms of sensitivity and computing cost. The populations here described can be used as a guide to set up future all-sky CW searches.
