ERRATUM: “BEATING THE SPIN-DOWN LIMIT ON GRAVITATIONAL WAVE EMISSION FROM THE CRAB PULSAR” (2008, ApJ, 683, L45)

A processing error in the signal template used in this search led to upper limits about 30% lower than we now know is warranted by the early S5 data. We have re-analyzed that data and find new upper limits on the strain parameter h 0 of 4.9 × 10 –25 /3.9 × 10 –25 for uniform/restricted prior assumptions concerning the Crab inclination and polarization angles. These results have now been superseded by upper limits of 2.6 × 10 –25 /2.0 × 10 –25 based on the full S5 data and presented in Abbott et al. (2009). The multitemplate search was not affected by the error.
