Searching for pulsars in PALFA data from Arecibo, Welcome our new member, aubie88! & some Jibber Jabber (previous post flow control)
06 January, 2009 07:31
Welcome to our team aubie88! aubie88 has been an EINSTEIN@HOME contributor since 2005 and it looks like the computers have been crunching for other projects since 2001 From Ubuntu to FreeBSD, both great server and desktop environments.
I should provide a little background about the servers this site is hosted on.. We are using Redhat Enterprise, Ubuntu Server, and of course FreeBSD. Ubuntu server provides web related services only. It uses lighttpd (Lighty) as a web server and fast-cgi utilizing PHP and PERL amongst many other interesting light and fast technologies to serve you this post.
The FreeBSD server does almost everything else: SQL, SMTP, IMAP amongst many other external organization providers.
The data server has 12 Tier 1 Fibre channels on separate gateways. The data center has 2 weeks of diesel backup and 4 days of battery backup, state of the art cooling and fire suppression systems, a complete full time physical security team, and all access to the data center rooms and equipment use biometric entry.
This page is provided with a 100 mbit unregulated interface.
That's enough of my internals.. ;) What about you (post a comment and let us know you are amongst the living)?

The Einstein@Home project is starting limited public testing of a new pulsar search, which uses PALFA radio data from the Arecibo radio telescope. More information about this search will be released in the coming weeks. Message board threads have been started for scientific information about the search and for problems and bug reports concerning the new application. We will post another front page news item when we formally launch this new search on a larger scale.
You bet, this will use radio technology. Here is a PDF in which it contains more information for this method: JDeneva.pdf. - [Gerry Rough]

neutron stars relationship with black holes and gravitational waves
16 November, 2008 12:06
[relativistic particles blasting out of Circinus X-1]
"Black holes are not the only objects in the universe that spew powerful jets from their poles. Dead, smoldering stars can emit them, too, and the jets they create rival and might even surpass those fired by black holes, scientists find.
The discovery, to be detailed in an upcoming issue of The Astrophysical Journal Letters, shows that the unusual properties of black holes-like the presence of an event horizon and the lack of an actual surface-are not required for jets to form.
"Gravity appears to be the key to creating these jets, not some trick of the event horizon," said study leader Sebastian Heinz of the University of Wisconsin at Madison." - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19461296/

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 and GEO gravitational wave detectors. EINSTEIN@HOME is a World Year of Physics 2005 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
