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.

finding water based planets: Doppler wobble, transit searches, interferometric astrometry, direct imaging and the Precision Radial Velocity Spectrometer
31 March, 2009 22:34 CST6CDTThis article is a short good read, in my opinion.
"Astronomers may be on the brink of discovering a second Earth-like planet, a find that would add fresh impetus to the search for extraterrestrial life, according to the US journal Science. Astronomers from six major centers, including NASA, Harvard and the University of Colorado, outline how advances in technology suggest scientists are on the verge of being able to detect the presence of small, rocky planets, much like our own, around distant stars for the first time. The planets are considered the most likely habitats for extraterrestrial life." - [The Daily Galaxy]
The article explains several methods for doing such observations, including: Doppler wobble, transit searches, interferometric astrometry, direct imaging and the Precision Radial Velocity Spectrometer.

Pat yourself on your back - we are now strong with over 10,000,000 credits!
08 March, 2009 15:46 CST6CDTTeam FreeBSD has been racking in the CPU cycles since February of 2005, over four years! Pat yourself on your back - we are now strong with over 10,000,000 credits!
We have a strong standing position with the EINSTEIN@HOME Project. We have shown our community and ourselves that FreeBSD is stable and forever strong in our world.
As busy as this team has been during these years, many of the founding team members are still earning credits and participating in this project. All of Team FreeBSD's members have helped greatly to accomplish what these scientists are researching for our understanding - resulting in the greater good of humanity and its development. Here is everyone that is still present on our team and has helped move us to the 10,000,000 mark:

For those of you wondering what the EINSTEIN@HOME Project is:
Einstein@Home uses your computer's idle time to search for weak astrophysical signals from spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors, the Arecibo radio telescope, and the Fermi gamma-ray satellite. Einstein@Home volunteers have already discovered more than a dozen new neutron stars, and we hope to find many more in the future. Our long-term goal is to make the first direct detections of gravitational-wave emission from spinning neutron stars. Gravitational waves were predicted by Albert Einstein almost a century ago, but have never been directly detected. Such observations would open up a new window on the universe, and usher in a new era in astronomy.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:
Further details about these newly-discovered pulsars can be found on this web page, and will be published in due course.
