EINSTEIN@HOME Discoveries Blossom in the Parkes Multi Beam Pulsar Survey (PMPS)

20 August, 2011 06:31 CST6CDT

On August 19th, 2011, three new radio pulsars discoveries were announced in the Parkes data by users donating computer time for the Boinc Einstein@Home project.  About one month earlier, July 26th, 2011 a sixth discovery was detected.  This brings the total pulsar discoveries to the count of nine from Einstein@Home community contributions.

So far, the Einstein@Home-PMsurv re-analysis has found nine new pulsars, which were confirmed with recent observations. - [E@H-PMsurv discoveries]

"The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey uses a 13-element receiver operating at a wavelength of 20 cm to survey the inner Galactic plane with remarkable sensitivity." - astro-ph/9911185 ; CAL-FC-1110

Rotating radio transients (RRATs) are sources of short, bright, radio pulses, which were first discovered in 2006.^[1] The pulses emitted by RRATs are similar to those observed from pulsars, but the characteristic regularity of pulsars is absent from RRATs. Like pulsars, RRATs are thought to be associated with rotating magnetized neutron stars, but the cause of their irregularity is unknown. - [Read More @ WikipediA]

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.
