Einstein@Home probes the Galactic center gamma-ray glow
The results from an @einsteinathome search for a proposed, hidden millisecond pulsar population near the center of the Milky Way have been published in The Astrophysical Journal today.
The results include the discovery of four previously unknown gamma-ray pulsars.

Einstein@Home probes the Galactic center gamma-ray glow 🌌
The volunteer computing project @einsteinathome searched for members of a proposed, hidden millisecond pulsar population near the center of the Milky Way and discovered four new pulsars.

The distributed volunteer computing project Einstein@Home has used data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to search for a hidden population of gamma-ray pulsars near the Galactic center.www.aei.mpg.de
Our research at the Pulsar 2025 Sardinia conference
At the end of September, scientists from the @mpi_grav in Hannover presented their latest results at the Pulsar 2025 Sardinia conference. They gave a total of five talks, two lightning talks, and presented a poster.

Among other things, they reported on the latest news from Einstein@Home and our Zooniverse project “Einstein@Home: Pulsar Seekers”. In the Zooniverse project, volunteers classify pulsar candidates identified by Einstein@Home, helping to find new pulsars and distinguish them from terrestrial disturbances such as radio frequency interference.

Thanks to all of our citizen scientists, several promising pulsar candidates have been found. Our team is now investigating these further using additional observations and public radio telescope data.

In the context of a series of initiatives scheduled to celebrate and honour the scientific legacy of Professor Nichi D’Amico we are organising a major pulsar conference in Geremeas (Sardinia, Italy).sites.google.com
🎉 A new paper with Einstein@Home gamma-ray pulsar discoveries 🔭
The new publication “Einstein@Home Searches for Gamma-ray Pulsars in the Inner Galaxy” was accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal and is posted on the arXiv preprint server today.
The international science team reports the discovery of four previously unknown gamma-ray pulsars towards the direction of the Galactic Center. Most likely the four discoveries are foreground sources from the Galactic disk.
🙏 We thank our volunteers, without the support of whom this research could not have happened.

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has revealed a mysterious extended excess of GeV gamma-ray emission around the Galactic Center, which can potentially be explained by unresolved emission from a population of pulsars, particularly millisecond puls…arXiv.org
