Universe@Home is a volunteer computing project that performs astrophysical research and is sponsored by the University of Warsaw.[1] The Universe@Home application runs on Windows, Linux, Android and Raspbian operating systems by using the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) platform to distribute work to volunteers. Universe@Home is officially listed on the BOINC website[2] and approved by Science United.[3]

Objectives[edit]

This project simulates the evolution of star clusters, estimates observations of gravitational waves, and tests models of supernovae explosions.[4] Universe@Home calculates the physical properties of individual stars, tracks their evolution over time, and observe how they interact with one another as they age using a cutting-edge collection of computational tools. The project aims to create the first database of the simulated stellar content of the Universe. Astronomers will have access to this extensive stellar library, which will also serve as an educational asset for the general public.[5]

The research has resulted in a deeper understanding of Black holes; the project website maintains a publicly-accessible database of known Black holes[6] (among other discoveries from their research) which has led to several scientific publications and citations.

Scientific publications[edit]

  • Nature of the Extreme Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources[7]
  • The first gravitational-wave source from the isolated evolution of two 40–100 M⊙ stars[8]
