    This is kinda cool...

    Today Breakthrough Listen is releasing the first batch of data for public access at the Breakthrough Initiatives website. Data from the Green Bank Telescope is also available to users of UC Berkeley's SETI@home software.

    Does this type of data have any implications for Pulsar searches through Einstein@Home or do I have the science/mathematics/physics confused? :P

    Here's a link to their press release... http://breakthroughinitiatives.org/News/3

      It seems they are mostly scanning 1 to 15 GHz ( or 1 to 4 GHz ) - which covers the Hydrogen 1.42 GHz line used by SETI - and the radio pulsar data from Aricebo/Parkes we analyse is from approx 1.2 to 1.8 GHz IIRC. As a public release then all one needs is the algorithm(s) and the hardware to search .... so on the face of it feasible for E@H. At some time. But we are frying other fish at present. :-)

      Cheers, Mike.
