Rotating, non-axisymmetric neutron stars emit continuous gravitational waves that may be detectable with current or future detectors. Three wide-band directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars in core-collapse supernova remnants are performed in the first half of the third LIGO and Virgo observing run as part of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. The three searches use three complementary analysis pipelines with different signal models, allowing the analysis to search a wider range of physical models than previous analyses. Upper limits are set on the gravitational wave strain, neutron star ellipticity, and r-mode amplitudes for fifteen young supernova remnants.
