Topic 187898

will our searches be able to see "glitches"- those pulsars that have a shift in periods?

also, all my WU's are around 500 Hz or so. Are we looking at mostly "millisecond pulsars" or is that just the ones I got and other people are looking more at "normal pulsars" with periods closer to 1 sec.

Anyone out there know what our search is over?

It seems to me that we will be looking for fastest pulsars mostly
one of E@H aims is to detect gravitational waves and there are theoretical arguments that the faster pulsar's rotation the more energy it radiates in the form of gravitational waves, that is downgrading the rotation speeds of pulsras we observe in universe (there should be 3000 rotations per second and we so far only observe 300 rps and 600 rps at max)

P.S.
i am an ordinary user have nothing to do with E@H science
