Gravitational Wave S6 Directed Search (CasA) launched

July 17, 2013

After a pause of about two weeks Einstein@Home is searching for gravitational waves again. The new search application is called "Gravitational Wave S6 Directed Search (CasA)". It is the first "directed" search performed by Einstein@Home, targeting only at a single direction in the sky ("Cassiopeia A").

This search uses new data files, so be prepared for a larger initial download (>100MB).
