(moderation:
Since we don't have a Science board yet, I'll ask here.
From the main page:
Feb 7, 2005
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration Calibration Team has released the final (v3) calibration information for the S3 data run. In the next several days we will be replacing our current search data set (which uses the v2 calibration) with the v3 version.
I've been googling around, but information pertaining to this subject is password protected, e.g. here
https://gravity.phys.uwm.edu/lscnews/
Does this also mean that we're starting to do real science now, or will this data be revisited when the project opens for the public?

We're doing real science now: currently analyzing 600 hours of the most sensitive gravitational wave data ever taken. Since we are going to go public very soon, we thought it made sense to put the final version of the calibrated data into place first.

Yea! Ride 'em cowboy!
Sorry, I couldn't resist ... I love doing science... especially when I don't have to do much except pay for the electricity! :)
Now, if only Apple would release the next generation of Power Mac!
The rumors are killing me ... (sob)

it is time to get an extra Thread about Science so far for all German Users look here at this, Realplayer is recomnanded

This is a TV stream (with some bad video-audio offset) grabbed from
the German digital channel "BR Alpha", 14 minutes long, with the subject
of anti-gravity. Listening to it now...

Der Bose-Chip

Magnetische Teilchenfallen: Ein in einem mikromechanischen Bauelement gefangenes Bose-Einstein-Kondensat könnte sich als Interferometer zum Nachweis von Gravitationswellen eignen
Ein mikromechanisches Bauelement lässt sich als magnetische Falle für ultrakalte Atomwolken nutzen. Ein Fernziel ist ein Interferometer für de-Brogliesche Materiewellen, ein solches Bauelement ließe sich nutzen als Sensor für winzige Magnetfelder, für Beschleunigungen einschließlich Winkelbeschleunigungen sowie für Gravitationswellen.

A Dutch guy who lives in Canada will try to translate it (with some help from babelfish ;cp )
Magnetic particle traps: A Bose Einstein condensate imprisoned in a micromechanical element could be suitable as an interferometer for the proof of gravity waves. A micromechanical element can be used as magnetic trap for ultra-cold atom clouds. A more distant goal is an interferometer for de-Broglie matter waves, such an element could be used as sensor for tiny magnetic fields, for accelerations including angular accelerations as well as for gravity waves.
The original article has an illustration that's in english.

Rather unrelated. The waves we are looking for are not electromagnetic and thus can't be caught with radio telescopes. There are probably, however, pulsars and other sources that emit both types of waves.
