It's been ~7 years since I read anything astronomy.

What is a quark star?

How new is this term?

Is it more dense than a neutron star?
 
SirUlli is way better at finding the relevant articles than I am, but HERE is a short article on "quark stars" that I happen to have bookmarked while here at work. 🙂

I'll look through my bookmarks at home and paste relevant ones into this post later this evening.

Edit: Here's a few links:

Wired News April 2002

What process would bring about a quark star? How would that differ from a neutron star?

The Encyclopedia of Astrobiology, Astronomy, and Spaceflight -- I like reading through this site for the fun of it.. all kinds of interesting stuff. 🙂

Unfortunately, some of my other links no longer work, but I'm sure a search on the term will bring up lots of other hits. I really like the 3rd link by the way. I still go back to it now and then just to read for the pleasure of learning. It's pretty easy to understand.


 
Quark stars, I read about them quite a while back (9th grade I believe) so they have been known about for years.

I am also an avid reader or was of albert einstein's stories.

I robot for example.


Thanks for the info networkman and mrwizer

Quick question, would it be safe to say that results are off by 2-3 days on returned pending results?


thanks

Mike
 
Returned results *can* take weeks to get credited.. it all just depends on how many other systems that data has been passed to that have also completed the work and all agree on the results.

With the project open to the public now, I'd expect probably not more than a few days to a week for most results. 🙂

I've never heard that term before and I'd like to think that I really follow current astronomy very closely. AFAIk E@H looks for pulsars and the possible gravitational wave they might create. If they do and we can measure them --> real proof for Einstein's theories. A Quark star seems to be very odd term, 'cause Quarks are subatomic particles that form atoms (very simplified), so a Quark Star is a contradiction in itself for me. But I'm just a hobby astronomer.

Here are two documents for you. Just speaking of them, not really a good explanation of the quark stars (take the BBC article for an overview). These are graduate level abstracts.

Doc 1
Doc 2

The source server was being slow and sporadic, so I placed them on an alternate. Want anymore, let me know 🙂
 
The Dual Xeon 2.8 I am running is definately a power house thanks to ht as well.

not bad for 4 computers lol
EDIT>also added results turned in over the last day<end edit
 
Yeah, besides the pure science of the project, another draw for me was the native support of muti-processors, ie. not having to mess with creating additional directories and such. 🙂
 
Thanks for the links. More dense, what I thought.

"strange quark matter, so dense that a teaspoonful of it would weigh billions of tonnes"

That's one strong teaspoon to hold that much weight! 😀
 
OK, we may be at position 13, but the TAS is crunching for E@H this month. This has already increased production significantly (RAC is up from 11875 [march 30] to 13759 [april 7] and that is good!; daily output of the team has increased from around 12 000 credits/day [march 30, march 31] to around 16800 [april 6, april 7]. And: there is some serious competition going on within TAS: cruchers are added daily, TAS members are moving up the ranks.

So, anyone interested: join the effort, come on and have fun! BTW, isn't fun somtimes spelled as nuf, sorry: nef?

TAS forum
 
Anybody got a spare cruncher sitting around, put it to use and help TAS help the team. 🙂

It doesn't have to be much, every little bit counts.

We could use a few more crunchers to add to the impact, plus its a fun way to learn the different projects as well as get to know some of your teammates a bit better.

Thank you for reading this, and I look forward to seeing a few new faces on TAS.

With the end of Seti@home in our sights, we could use the help over at Einstein at Home. We are currently 13 in the standings. Our production has stayed flat for a couple of weeks now while some of the other teams are really ramping up production.

I plan to do a little on this project myself ,but not until after S@H1 ends ,I dont wanta let BBR catch us!😛

See you about🙂

Actually, Isaac Asimov wrote I Robot and the other robot novels among his several hundred novels and short stories. To the best of my knowledge, Albert Einstein did not write Science fiction.

For E@H, I'll be adding my 6 servers/PCs to Team A soon. I'm running as KDL right now, about 282 in team standings now.
thanks

Hey I already put 4 on the project on the 1st of April and another today. 🙂
 
well, I have been down and out on my production 🙁 moving into the new home and getting everything set up.

am still trying to find space for the p3 933, 800, and a celly 700

I am working on it though 😀


btw, anyone have a few wireless nics for sale on the cheap? 😀
