[Einstein@home] A new Fermi Gamma Ray Pulsar Catalog has just been published!
The latest catalog of gamma-ray pulsars discovered in data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has just been published in the Astrophysical Journal (the article is linked here).
Einstein@Home and its methods (run on a dedicated computing cluster) have contributed 53 of the 294 confirmed pulsars listed in the catalog. Even more impressive: about half of all pulsars ever discovered via their gamma-ray pulsations have been found by our project.
