O.T.- Yay, I'm finally getting the rest of my network up tonight,

The results for the reobservation units is mentioned in this interview
with David Anderson:

1 .- Recently there was a "reobservation campaign" of the most
interesting signals at Arecibo. Have we found something interesting in
the candidate signals ?

Not so far. We recorded data at both 2 bits/sample and 8 bits/sample,
and recently finished analizing the 2-bit data. We found no signals
matching the original "candidate". The 8-bit data gives about 50% better
sensitivity; we will analize it using BOINC. Also, the reobservation was
based on the first 50% of Seti@home data- We still have to finish back
end analysis of the second half, and then we'll do another reobservation
run.



And, are you still interested in a few more reobs RAs? (Or have you more
than enough already??) I got a few more from those that were later
reprocessed further.

Hi Martin,

If you could hold onto those WU's indefinitely that would be
great. After reading the above and also I believe that the people who
sent me the WU's were able to automate the process of matching the
RA/DECS to catalogued objects (and I believe they were able to make
some interesting correlations, I hope they post something here about
it here, anyway...), my manual searching seems inadequate (to say the
least.) Here are links to two tables I threw together which are made
of most of the WU info sent to me (warning, one file is over 2 megs
and the other over 1 meg in size and they were created/sorted in MS
WORD):

http://www.geocities.com/exosearch/w...nd11rasort.doc

(the second table above I've just now thrown together and the RA/DEC's
of the last few WU's have to be corrected, but the wife's in bed and
asking me to wind it up.)

As you can see, there's alot there (and that's not all of it either,
my e-mail account overflowed from the Spam attacks last Sept. and I
haven't cleaned them out until today, and I am certain that I lost
WU's that were sent to me after Sept., they were bounced back to the
senders (they know who they are ;^) Also, I put a fix in on that
Spam-bucket account that hopefully will permanently prevent
overflows.) Also, In the first listed table I cleaned out alot of the
catalog object names I originally listed (and it was quite a few)
because it became obvious that so many uncatalogued objects are in
each field of view (for example, look at a candidate position with
Starry Night Pro, and you may not find anything (even though it has
millions of catalogued objects in its database), but when you look at
a piece of sky that is empty on Starry Night and then look at the same
piece of sky with NASA's Skyview, you find jillions of uncatalogued
stars, it becomes an exercise in futility, so I started just looking
for large-scale 'famous' objects, and so far I've only seen one
definite extra-solar planet, M-1 (the Crab Nebula) and M-33 (the
Triangulum Galaxy).

Since I've only just started looking again (after a hiatus since last
Summer), and I'm painfully slowly looking at what was sent (and I know
that many may think I'm wasting my time, but I'm just curious after so
many years to know what they were looking at), so I'm posting the
lists here in case somebody here is curious about them (and if I lose
the data, at least I'll know that somebody else had a chance to look
at it.)
