Like a cosmic lighthouse, this type of neutron star emits regular pulses of radio waves that can be observed with large radio telescopes.</p><p>“We realized that Einstein@Home’s computing power could be put to good use by helping to search for pulsars in binary systems in data from the Arecibo pulsar survey,” says Bruce Allen. “We also knew that it would be many years before we and our volunteers might finally see the first continuous gravitational-wave detection. Finding new, possibly exotic, radio pulsars would keep all of us motivated toward that long-term goal.”</p><p>In the summer of 2010, Einstein@Home found a new radio pulsar in Arecibo data, marking the first astronomical discovery by a distributed volunteer computing project. The pulsar was a rare and unusual type of neutron star, with only a dozen similar examples known at the time. “This was a milestone for us and our volunteers. It proved that citizen science and public participation can make a difference in astronomy and other data-driven sciences,” says Bruce Allen.</p><p><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/20YearsOfEinsteinAtHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>20YearsOfEinsteinAtHome</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/CitizenScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CitizenScience</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/DistributedComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DistributedComputing</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/NeutronStars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NeutronStars</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/GravitationalWaves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GravitationalWaves</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Pulsars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pulsars</span></a></p>

CosmicRami<p>1 in 100 billion! (well, so far ....)</p><p>There is one, and ONLY one of these systems we know about. It features two neutron stars, both pulsars. In even better news, both of these pulsar beams shine in our direction - so we can study the light of one as it passes through the powerful magnetic field of the other. </p><p>That's what Dr Marcus Lower from Swinburne University of Technology and his team did - they used the extremely sensitive MeerKAT telescope in South Africa to study the light, and polarization of one pulsar's beam as it passed through the magnetic field of the other.</p><p>This is extreme astrophysics at its best.</p><p>There is very much likely more double pulsars out there, but maybe only one beams at us, or none beam at us.</p><p>So, this is the only one we have so far .... </p><p>My latest for <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpaceAustralia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpaceAustralia</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.spaceaustralia.com/feature/unveiling-extreme-physics-galaxys-only-double-pulsar-system" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">spaceaustralia.com/feature/unv</span><span class="invisible">eiling-extreme-physics-galaxys-only-double-pulsar-system</span></a></p><p>📸M.
