The Einstein@Home search for new neutron stars

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

Einstein@Home is a volunteer distributed computing project with more than a quarter-million participants. I will describe the current status of its search for new neutron stars, using data from radio telescopes and gravitational wave observatories. I will also talk about the first Einstein@Home discoveries, of new radio pulsars found in data from the Arecibo Observatory.
