[Einstein@home] A new Fermi Gamma Ray Pulsar Catalog has just been published!
The latest catalog of gamma-ray pulsars discovered in data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has just been published in the Astrophysical Journal (the article is linked here).

Einstein@Home and its methods (run on a dedicated computing cluster) have contributed 53 of the 294 confirmed pulsars listed in the catalog.  Even more impressive: about half of all pulsars ever discovered via their gamma-ray pulsations have been found by our project.

[Einstein@home] Results from Einstein@Home supernova remnant search published

The results of a new Einstein@Home search in public LIGO data have been published in The Astrophysical Journal: "Deep Einstein@Home search for Continuous Gravitational Waves from the Central Compact Objects in the Supernova Remnants Vela Jr. and G347.3-0.5 using LIGO public data". The paper is also available on the arXiv preprint server.

[Einstein@home] Einstein@Home is twenty years old today!

I want to congratulate all of our Einstein@Home volunteers, developers, and scientists: our project is 20 years old today.  We officially launched Einstein@Home on February 19th 2005, exactly 20 years ago, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Washington DC.

I joined Einstein on 20 Dec 2016. I don't know why it took me so long, maybe they weren't on BOINC ??

Quite an achievement. As I mentioned earlier, I'm glad that we helped contribute

[Einstein@home] Update on "Einstein@Home: Pulsar Seekers"

Dear Einstein@Home volunteers,

You may remember that we launched a Zooniverse project called "Einstein@Home: Pulsar Seekers" in October 2023. Now we have the first promising results.

Zooniverse volunteers have made millions of classifications for more than 240,000 candidates found in the Arecibo telescope's PALFA pulsar survey. More than 4400 candidates have been classified as promising after review by our scientists.
