<b>We are delighted to announce that Einstein@Home has made its first discovery: a radio pulsar, found in data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.</b>

Details are available in a paper published online by Science today. Science has given us permission to post a copy of the <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/science.1195253?ijkey=fUmYrDCDRI/K2&keytype=ref&siteid=sci" rel="nofollow">abstract</a> and <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/rapidpdf/science.1195253?ijkey=fUmYrDCDRI/K2&keytype=ref&siteid=sci" rel="nofollow">paper</a> here. They are also on the Science website <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/science.1195253" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The manuscript is also in the <a href="http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/1008.2172" rel="nofollow">arXiv preprint</a> archive (use the PDF link in the top right corner).

A <a href="http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=117500&org=NSF&from=news" rel="nofollow">press-conference webcast</a> about this first discovery is also available.

The name of the pulsar is PSR J2007+2722. It is a 40.8 Hz isolated pulsar, 17,000 light years distant in the plane of the Galaxy, and is most likely a Disrupted Recycled Pulsar (DRP). If so, it is the fastest DRP yet discovered.

The Einstein@Home volunteers whose computers found the pulsar with the highest significance are <a href="http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/show_user.php?userid=62243" rel="nofollow"> Chris and Helen Colvin</a>, from Ames Iowa and <a href="http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/show_user.php?userid=194662" rel="nofollow">Daniel Gebhardt</a>, Musikinformatik, Universitaet Mainz.

<a href="http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/radiopulsar/html/discovery_page/firstdiscovery.html" rel="nofollow">Additional information</a> about the discovery is available on our web pages. I will also talk about it at the <a href="http://www.citizencyberscience.net/summit/CCC-programme.htm" rel="nofollow">London Citizen Cyberscience Summit</a> on September 2nd.

We thank ALL Einstein@Home volunteers for their support, and look forward eagerly to our <i>next</i> discovery.
