Again an article about the gravitational waves detected with pulsars. However its a bit fast conclusion, cause i don't know any serious article that draw this conclusion for sure...

Interesting. these guys are apparently gonna try developing pulsar navigation. They propose to solve the low apparent brightness problem using relatively complex signal processing and filtering to limit the antenna size etc. The say they've already had some promising results using ground based data. worth a science coffee perhaps?

Absolutely. Sante can you get in contact with them?

In a feat never before observed, a newly discovered pulsar shifts back and forth between emitting X-rays and radio waves. The discovery represents a long-sought "middle" phase in the life of these powerful objects.

like the profiles ... "The clearest evidence for the pulsar's existence was provided by computers operated by two volunteers: Vitaly Shiryaev, a Russian researcher who has a Ph.D. in radio physics; and Stacey Eastham, who does vehicle testing for the British government in Darwen. In his profile, Eastham says he's studying astronomy and physics on the side. He got involved in the Einstein @ Home project because he's interested in "anything space-like, and being able to be part of something like this is right up my street."

Pulsar navigation - now studied by the Russians about 6 years after our study of them ... :-)

Undoubtedly something for Pacome...

Really? Is this what we were all waiting for?

to be honest, while the alien megastructure is a cookie idea, I highly doubt that those aliens woke up one day and thought: "hm, let's send laser pulses at this particular random spot in space sometime in the next 6 days".
