This is just a question. Are there goining to be any new applications for the Einstien@Home program besides the pulsar search? Some possible applcations I thought of were searches for magnetars (stars with extremely powerful magnetic fields) or possible extrasolar planets. Is this going to be considered, and if so, when?

New Programs/Applications

Just a follow up on the previous post...
Couldn't the inferometers be used to detect disturbances in the gravitational pulls of stars caused by extrasolar planets? Just a thought....
