DC users running the Einstein@Home project have discovered a new pulsar

Via Ars Technica BOINC bags a pulsar via Einstein@Home distributed computing
Einstein@Home was launched in 2005 with the intention of searching for gravity waves, but a search for radiofrequency pulsars was started in 2009, using data from the Arecibo observatory; refinements to the search algorithm improved the rate of processing considerably. Home users get a bit under five minutes of observation data, and the computers search it for periodic signals arising from pulsars. In July, one of these home users spotted PSR J2007+2722, which was later confirmed by a number of ground-based observatories.
