[edit] "S5 has not yet been run; it is scheduled for late 2005"
Any updates on this? --Closedmouth 08:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GFDL image?
Where exactly does it say that Einstein@Home graphics are available under the GFDL licence? I think the licence should be a fair use (screenshot) licence. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 19:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pulsars
I've altered the article wording slightly to emphasize that Einstein@Home is searching for continuous-wave sources (of any kind) and not binary inspiral. These sources may be pulsars. Or not. In fact, the term "pulsar" now becomess slightly ambiguous. The conventional meaning is of a neutron star which produces electromagnetic radiation which periodically sweeps across earth (like a lighthouse beam). Periodic signals in gravitational waves could be called "gravitational pulsars" but the mechanism may or may not be the same. Some electromagnetic pulsars may also be gravitational pulsars, but there may be gravitational pulsars which are not electromagnetic pulsars. We don't know yet.
My changes don't account for this, so further improvments in wording could certainly be useful as long as they keep this point in mind.
