Paper on Einstein@Home's 24 radio pulsar discoveries published

Way to go Ben! Ya just gotta luv this project ... I like the way the 'rarer birds' are discovered via the search methods that E@H makes available! :-) :-)

Cheers, Mike.

Yeah! Nobody else is able to

Yeah! Nobody else is able to look at the sky so thoroughly for such a long time like Einstein@Home.

Let us know in time whether

Let us know in time whether the science articles and exposure on reddit helped recruit people.

Thanks Ben, Glad to help


Thanks Ben,

Glad to help with this all these years and so far the only thing that stops me is when/if the power goes out in the winter here.

There's also an article

There's also an article written in German @sterne-und-weltraum.de -> http://www.sterne-und-weltraum.de/alias/mitmach-astronomie/neutronensterne-in-der-rechnerwolke/1205309 about this paper and Einstein@Home in general.

Will do! You can also have a look at the Einstein@Home BOINCstats page, where you can still see a peak in the "new users" graph from the press release about our new Android application about a month ago.

And thanks for pointing out the reddit about our press release. There's a lively discussion going on there and I've been doing my best to answer all the questions that came up.

Cheers,
Benjamin

We are eagerly awaiting a paper about pulsars discovered in Arecibo Mock Spectrometer Pulsar Search. Any news on that?

These pulsars are discovered as part of the work of the PALFA survey. Some of the Einstein@Home scientists are members of the PALFA consortium, that conducts the PALFA survey with the Arecibo telescope. The Einstein@Home pipeline is one of multiple independent pipelines analyzing the PALFA data.

All pulsars discovered by Einstein@Home are discoveries of the PALFA consortium. Publications about these pulsars will be publications of the PALFA consortium – in some cases with lead authors from the Einstein@Home team, but also with other lead authors from the consortium.

Work on publications about the Einstein@Home pulsars are currently in preparation, but some of them require further observations to tease out all of the exciting science.

Cheers,
Benjamin

At the very least it got me involved. Seems like a really cool project.
