Two papers on SETI@home will be published in The Astronomical Journal, a well-regarded scientific journal:

  • SETI@home: Data Acquisition and Front-End Processing describes SETI@home's data recorder, splitter, and client program. It covers the five detection types, their parameters and statistics, and the algorithm for finding them.

  • SETI@home: Data Analysis and Findings describes the back end (Nebula) and its results: RFI removal, candidate finding and ranking. It explains how artificial signals, or 'birdies', were used to optimize algorithms and estimate overall sensitivity.

    For details, see an entry in the Nebula blog.
