Nebula has done its job - we have millions of "multiplets" - candidate signals - in 6 categories, ordered by 7 different score functions. Dan and Eric will, at some point, manually examine lots of these and pick 100 or so for re-observation at FAST, where we've been granted 20 hours of observing time. To do this re-observation , we need to build a new data recorder - hardware and software. Much of this work is being done by Wei Liu, an astronomy post-doc who's visiting here for 2 years. We recently had an in-person meeting with one of the leaders of FAST to discuss the technical details of the re-observation. I'm working on the paper about Nebula and its results. This is going slowly. I've recently started going over the paper with Bruce Allen (leader of Einstein@home), whose input and questions are very valuable. |

Thank you for the Nebula updates. Sounds interesting. Can't wait to read the 'next chapter' after it's published. |

Nebula has done its job... For the project, that must be an historic achievement for a great search through a phenomenal amount of data... Worthy of a news item/announcement? Well worth a few beers! (At least!!) ;-) "Keep searchin'!" Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |
