| Einstein@Home discovers a second new radio pulsar in Arecibo "Mock" data! |
| Einstein@Home has discovered a fourth new radio pulsar, J1952+25, in data from the Arecibo Observatory. This is the second Einstein@Home discovery in Arecibo data taken with the new "Mock" back-end spectrometer. Further details about the newly-discovered pulsar can be found on this web page, and will be published in due course. Congratulations to our volunteers, and thank you for contributing to Einstein@Home! We have found 14 radio pulsars so far, and I am also optimistic about our prospects for discovering new gamma-ray pulsars and continuous gravitational-wave sources.

For those of you wondering what the EINSTEIN@HOME Project is:
Einstein@Home is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational wave detector. It also searches for radio pulsars in binary systems, using data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 and an International Year of Astronomy 2009 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.My name is Andy Wright - the founder, but really the creator of Team FreeBSD. If you want me to add any links, or have any questions or inclinations for such things related to our group (or to just say hi) - send me an e-mail: einstein@extracted.org or Skype name: extracted

| Einstein@Home volunteers discover three new radio pulsars in Arecibo data |
Einstein@Home volunteers have discovered three new radio pulsars in Arecibo PALFA data -- the eighth, ninth and tenth new radio pulsars found by Einstein@Home volunteers in this data set! Congratulations to:
Further details about these newly-discovered pulsars can be found on this web page, and will be published in due course.
