Comments

Sources for the pulses may include black holes, neutron stars, cosmic strings, or ETI. Data from the 7 beam ALFA receiver at Arecibo is reduced by a distributed computing application that uses a coherent de-dispersion technique to look for short broad-pulses. The multibeam data is sent over the internet to the computers of millions of volunteers to be analyzed.
