what's with these 2 projects - are they new sub projects we can run on Einstein@Home?
Welcome Merko ! :-)
LIGO and GEO and VIRGO are the gravitational wave detectors which obtain the primary data that we work on for our GW work units. The scientific collaborations that run these devices provide their detector outputs to many analysis groups. The Einstein At Home distributed computing project is managed by the Albert Einstein Institute for Gravitational Astrophysics, which in turn is associated with the Continuous Wave subgroup of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. Professor Bruce Allen at AEI initiated E@H over ten years ago in the knowledge that one day such a calculating beast would be needed. It has succeeded in many tasks to date and served as a wonderful model for collaboration between scientists and the worldwide community.
[ Gosh, this sounds like I am writing a press release ! :-)
Wait, you also get a set of free steak knives if you call in the next 15 minutes to 1300 EINSTEIN .... if you mention my name you will get our special offer of two-for-one in 356 easy monthly payments ..... :-):-) ]
That's quite a long mouthful ! But the short answer is that we are already have the data from these efforts being crunched by our rigs. Einstein At Home is a supercomputer searching through the data streams to find particular signals.
Be aware that you have joined close to the time where we will be examining data from the LIGO instruments at full design sensitivity. The Hanford and Livingston interferometers either have or shortly will be taking data to help definitively answer a number of exciting key questions in General Relativity including :
- do gravitational waves exist ?
- if so, what objects produce them ?
- what can those objects tell us about how gravity works at really high mass ?
- how do high mass systems evolve in time ?
.... plus many more ideas.
Cheers, Mike.

Roberto Battiston, head of Italian Space Agency, tells me that eLISA Pathfinder launch will be around November 25 and that it will be a great way for Italy to celebrate the 100 years of Einstein's General Relativity.

The eLISA Pathfinder mission
)
The eLISA Pathfinder mission should be launched atop a Vega Launcher within 2015 although I cannot find a launch date. I have found an address:
