EINSTEIN@HOME - Team FreeBSD

A team dedicated to the users of FreeBSD running BOINC under linux compatibility mode, or a native FreeBSD BOINC build. Team FreeBSD is dedicated to users of FreeBSD, but not limited to JUST the users. Anyone with the interest in developing a community of people interested in technology, open standards, NIX or BSD based operating systems are welcome and encouraged to earn credits and share ideas and conversation.

Arecibo pulsar rediscovery count passes 200!

In its analysis of radio data from the Arecibo Observatory, Einstein@Home has now passed its 200th re-detection! The 116 different radio pulsars that have been re-detected include 8 milli-second pulsars. More details may be found on the radio pulsar rediscovery page. - [Bruce Allen]

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


''It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure'' -- Albert Einstein

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:
  • Peter van der Spoel, Utrecht, the Netherlands
  • Edvin Grabar, Pula, Croatia
  • Shadowfax, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
  • Cauche Nathanael
  • John-Luke Peck, TerraPower & Intellectual Ventures, Seattle, Washington, USA
  • Mark Henderson, Morristown, Tennessee, USA

Further details about these newly-discovered pulsars can be found on this web page, and will be published in due course. Bruce Allen Director, Einstein@Home
