 |
|
With a light voter turnout, but a landslide vote, our Project of the Month for April 2015 is Universe@Home. I believe the section in bold is what we're currently shrubbing.
| Quote: | This proposal aims to create the first database of the simulated stellar content of the Universe, from the earliest stars to the most exotic black hole binaries. This comprehensive stellar library will be a world-wide scientific resource for astronomers, and an educational asset for the public. With a state-of-the-art suite of computational tools, we can calculate the physical properties of individual stars, evolve them in time, and track how they interact with each other as they age. With this library of stellar populations that spans the known range of star formation histories and initial elemental abundances, it is possible to tackle fundamental science questions that have been out of reach in general relativity, astronomy, and cosmology.
As a group we will use this database to characterize the population of supernova progenitor stars that have been used to discover the mysterious dark energy that accelerates the expansion of the Universe; we can calculate how (if at all) binary evolution facilitates the formation of ultra-luminous X-ray sources, and we can model the number and physical properties of neutron stars and black holes that strongly emit gravitational waves that are at the heart of research into gamma-ray bursts – the most energetic explosions known-to-date.
The data that we create can be mined not only to match current observations, but to predict how the sky will appear to future astronomical observatories as new windows to the Universe open. Altogether, this proposal will allow us to consolidate a strong and highly visible research group; an independent computational center that trains a new cohort of highly educated students, and communicates with the public via innovative science venues, and offer a fresh look at the Universe.

While we're waiting on the project to regenerate some WUs  here's a link to their first scientific paper.
Nature of the Extreme Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources
Also, since Universe@Home is a first time PotM, you might not be aware of their beautiful shiny BADGES!

| Keep a watch on this projects programs, it seems they like to keep running even if there is no work. A lesson one of our members figured out today. |

Well we could always do some DistributedDataMining while we wait, shameless pimping I know! Short and fast units till loonieverse is working properly.

Still no WUs. 
There was no clear 2nd place finisher/back up project in our vote, so just keep on a-shrubbing whateva ya wanna!
And now for something not quite but almost completely different. These horny maidens are HellBent On A Quest!

Kill series 12 WUs. Series 13 & 14 should be OK.
