Abstract

Astronomy One of the major challenges of modern astronomy is finding important results in the overwhelming volume of acquired data. Clark et al. used the computers of tens of thousands of volunteers participating in the Einstein@Home project to search Fermi Large Area Telescope data. Their goal was to discover radio-quiet gamma-ray millisecond pulsars (MSPs). More than 10,000 donated CPU years in this survey led to the discovery of two isolated MSPs, including a rotation-powered MSP that has remained undetected in radio observations. Sci. Adv. 10.1126/sciadv.aao7228 (2018).
