Einstein: Einstein@Home discovers a new radio pulsar in Arecibo data

[RSS]

I am delighted to announce that Einstein@Home has discovered a third new radio pulsar in data from the Arecibo Observatory. This is the first Einstein@Home discovery in Arecibo data taken with the new "Mock" back-end spectrometer. The pulsar is unusually interesting, as is a short-period (millisecond) pulsar in a binary system. Further details about the newly-discovered pulsar can be found on this web page (http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/radiopulsar/html/BRP4_discoveries/), and will be published in due course. Congratulations to our volunteers, and thank you for contributing to Einstein@Home! Bruce Allen Director, Einstein@Home
