=== 24 New Pulsars in Parkes Multi-beam Survey (2013) ===

Using the combined computing power of 200,000 volunteer PCs, Einstein@Home discovered '''24 new pulsars''' in archival data from the [[wikipedia:Parkes Observatory|CSIRO Parkes radio telescope]] in Australia. These included 18 isolated pulsars and 6 in binary systems, some with orbital periods of only a few hours. The results were published in ''The Astrophysical Journal''.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Einstein@Home Discovery of 24 Pulsars in the Parkes Multi-beam Pulsar Survey|journal=The Astrophysical Journal|volume=774|issue=2|year=2013|author=B.
