EINSTEIN@HOME First Discovery & NSF Video Announcement

13 August, 2010 17:01 CST6CDT

We are delighted to announce that Einstein@Home has made its first discovery: a radio pulsar, found in data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Details are available in a paper published online today by Science. If you don't have access to Science, the manuscript is also in the arXiv preprint archive (use the PDF link in the top right corner). A press-conference webcast about this first discovery is also available. The name of the pulsar is PSR J2007+2722. It is a 40.8 Hz isolated pulsar, 17,000 light years distant in the plane of the Galaxy, and is most likely a Disrupted Recycled Pulsar (DRP). If so, it is the fastest DRP yet discovered. The Einstein@Home volunteers whose computers found the pulsar with the highest significance are Chris and Helen Colvin, from Ames Iowa and Daniel Gebhardt, Musikinformatik, Universitaet Mainz. Additional information about the discovery is available on our web pages. We thank ALL Einstein@Home volunteers for their support, and look forward eagerly to our next discovery. Bruce Allen, Director, Einstein@Home August 12, 2010 - [Bruce Allen]

The NSF (National Science Foundation) has released a video announcement (press release 10-140) of this finding entitled "First genuine astronomical discovery made by German and American Einstein@Home volunteers.".  This video is available [here].

EINSTEIN@HOME - Team FreeBSD Milestones & Pulsar Rediscoveries

12 August, 2010 20:53 CST6CDT

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]

I am available here: irc://myside@irc.freenode.net (formerly Vexor, semi-retired after many years).  I would enjoy chatting with others in our group, as I am sure many of you would like to do the same.

This site is not visited often, as the information purposes of the project is at http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/  However, if you come across this post, and you are part of our team, how about writing a comment with a communication medium that you feel comfortable sharing.

Our team is doing wonderful.  Keep your boxes hot and keep on crunching!

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
