This is the first formal scientific publication resulting from the Einstein@Home project. A short public presentation of the results will be given this Sunday at the annual Spring Meeting of the American Physical Society in St. Louis. Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/all_news.php#149 http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/all_news.php#149 We found that we need to split the current S5R3 run at 800 Hz frequency (read more about it in this forum thread). We are currently ~6 days away from the end of the lower half, which means that we are experiencing the usual workunit-cleanup at the end of a run, with the common raise of downlaod traffic during that time. Dial-up users may want to suspend the project for the next days.

The work will begin at 14:10:00 UTC Oct 25 (today).

Please note that a few contributors may notice some of their results in a strange or incorrect state. Please see this message board thread for more details and to report any problems.

This is taking a bit longer than expected. We expect all the problems to be worked out by Mon Oct 15 23:00 UTC.

Fri, 05 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/all_news.php#143 http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/all_news.php#143 The S5 science run, whose goal was to accumulate one year of triple-coincident data at LIGO design sensitivity, officially ended at 00:00 UTC October 1, 2007. This completes the data-taking stage of a project which was officially begun in 1992 by Kip Thorne, Ron Drever, and Rainer Weiss. LIGO will now undergo two planned upgrades to improve sensitivity. The first of these upgrades (Enhanced LIGO) will be followed by the S6 science run, anticipated for 2009. Einstein@Home is now busy searching the S5 data set. The Einstein@Home S4 postprocessing and analysis are largely complete and under review by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. We hope to provide updates about these results before the end of this year. Tue, 02 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/all_news.php#142 http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/all_news.php#142 We have started a new analysis run on LIGO S5 data, called S5R3. This uses a new version of the science application - details will be forthcoming in the Science Message Board area. Users who have been beta-testing the latest app versions should now remove their app_info.xml files. Sun, 23 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT
