NEW ZOONIVERSE PROJECT “PULSAR SEEKERS”
Submitted on 31 Oct 2023 15:00:04 UTC
Dear Einstein@Home volunteers,
we've just launched a new Zooniverse project called "Pulsar Seekers" to help classify radio pulsar candidates. Please, use your eyes and your intellect to help us to find new pulsars:
www.zooniverse.org/projects/rsengar/pulsar-seekers.
Since 2009, Einstein@Home volunteers have donated computing time to analyse data from the Arecibo telescope’s PALFA pulsar survey. Our science team has sifted through the results, and identified a large number of promising pulsar candidates.
The number of candidates is too big for one person inspect the resulting diagnostic plots, but thousands of volunteers working together can do it quickly. On Zooniverse you'll find a simple tutorial, which teaches you how to tell real pulsars from noise.
If you would like to join the collective effort and help discover new pulsars, please join the “Pulsar Seekers” Zooniverse project linked above.
On behalf of Dr. Rahul Sengar and the other Einstein@Home scientists
