Request for TAC - add new project - theSkyNet

I'm wondering what is the difference between this and SETI is. Just joined the team and waiting for work to be downloaded

Other purpose: Seti searches for a signal from "ET", this project is much more astronomical research ...
... physical parameters (such as stellar mass surface density, star formation rate surface density, attenuation, and first-order star formation history) on a resolved pixel-by-pixel basis using spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting techniques in a distributed computing mode.

Other observations, other "input": not only radio signals but optical and spectral data and thus other output ... 🙂
 
I am just looking through the site - it is wonderful! Just check out the science threads of the message boards - not many, but so interesting! E.g.
Check these three threads. Then click on any thread, and in the thread on the SINBAD-link. Scroll down to the "plots and Images" section and click e.g. the Aladin-applet. You can get so much information about those galaxies: optical pics, infra-red, ultraviolet pics, radio maps etc. You can zoom or expand, rotate, look up the literature, etc.
This is just wonderful!
 
Well, that was quick! From the site:
Testing pause
Thanks for you help on this so far. We're now looking at the results to make sure they make sense before we put out more galaxies.

Glad I got four WUs when I did!

Check out the ones you have helped crunch. There is a small rectangle to show the part you worked on. Very sweet!
 
Keep us updated on this project. I would love to start crunching on this. Going to try to add it now.

EDIT: Added, and they have work units available.

Is no one else worried about it being called "SkyNet" and it using our computing cycles? No one else feels this strange paranoia?
 
With the help of one groggy hamster and Wikipedia, I find a movie reference.

I already understood pogs. Those were milk-bottle caps when I was a lad of nine and tasted fresh milk for the first time.
