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.

Einstein@Home - Wikipedia and Welcome to our Team!
29 September, 2010 10:36 CST6CDTWelcome to our team Bill Vinton & haegga! You are among friends!
Have you seen the EINSTEIN@HOME Wikipedia Article?
As of January 2010[update], over 248,000 volunteers in 192 countries have participated in the project, making it the third most popular BOINC project.[4] About 39,000 active users contribute about 220 teraFLOPS of computational power, which would rank Einstein@Home among the top 20 on the TOP500 list of supercomputers. - [source]

Welcome to the FreeBSD Team & Science 2.0
03 September, 2010 17:16 CST6CDTWelcome Rabadash to Team FreeBSD. You are among friends. Keep em blazed!
Science 2.0 has a nicely written article about EINSTEIN@HOME; its technologies used for gravitational wave detection and an in-depth view into the complexities and potential of our project. The article is entitled "Citizen Scientists Discover New Pulsar With Einstein@Home"
"..These waves of space-time, however, have never yet been directly observed. So, the phenomena, although it might seem reasonable, remains only a hypothesis. This is where the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory, or LIGO, comes into play. ..."
The full article is available from Science 2.0 at [this URL].

Arecibo binary pulsar (re)discoveries page updated
The latest radio pulsar (re)discoveries are available at the usual place. Our count is now at 2 observations of 1 NEW pulsar, 242 detections of 123 different known radio pulsars, including 20 re-observations of 8 different milli-second pulsars. Thank you very much volunteers! 27 Aug 2010 13:40:17 UTC - [source]

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

| 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.
