New Runs for Separation search
Hello - I've started some new separation runs:

de_separation_14_2s_sscon_1
de_separation_15_2s_sscon_1

I expect these to run smooth, but let me know if you have any problems!

I've started a new run:

Milkyway@home paper Accepted for Publication!
Hello Crunchers!

"A Spatial Characterization of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy Tidal Tails"

This is the title of a paper using results from Milkyway@home, and has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal! You can find the preprint (unofficial pre-published version) on ArXiv (http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.1476).

This paper analyzes the tidal debris of the Sagittarius dwarf Galaxy, and discusses the results in the context of other published papers. For background information, please see our Science Page

Thanks to all of our Milkyway@home crunchers who made this paper possible, especially David Glogau, The Marvin Clan, and the Dudley Observatory for their significant donations (you've been thanked in the paper, too!*).

This is just the first in what we hope will be a long string of Milkyway@home astronomy publications. We're working on the next publications right now!

Cheers,
Matthew N.

*We'll contact you personally with more information as the paper gets closer to its official publication date. 10 Apr 2013 | 17:09:06 UTC · Comment

New Separation Runs
I've started 2 new separation runs:

de_separation_09_3s_sscon_1
de_separation_11_3s_sscon_1

These runs are looking at the secondary streams in the North Galactic Cap ("above the plane" of the Galaxy). Let us know if you have any problems with these.

I'll have news concerning the primary stream search results later this week. ;)
