Dear <name/>:
|
|
|
|
We'd like to invite you to reconnect with SETI@home.
|
|
Our records show that you've been with SETI@home since <create_time/>,
|
|
but it's been <lapsed_interval/> days since you last returned a work unit.
|
|
We want you back, and here's why:
|
|
|
|
There are exciting times for SETI@home.
|
|
We recently installed a new SETI@home data recorder
|
|
at the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico.
|
|
This recorder is attached to a state-of-the-art multibeam receiver,
|
|
so we can now measure signals from 7 positions on the sky at once,
|
|
with greater sensitivity to weak signals compared to the data
|
|
from the flat feed antenna we've used since 1999.
|
|
Coupled with a new application, SETI@home Enhanced,
|
|
we've greatly increased the sensitivity of our data analysis,
|
|
and the likelihood that we'll find the first signs
|
|
of extraterrestrial life.
|
|
We're also testing a second application, Astropulse,
|
|
which will look for extremely short pulses of astronomical
|
|
(and possibly intelligent) origin.
|
|
|
|
With these new development comes an increase in required computing power,
|
|
for which we depend on people like you.
|
|
We hope you will consider signing back on with SETI@home,
|
|
and help in this wonderful scientific venture.
|
|
|
|
Whether or now you resume running SETI@home,
|
|
you can help us by filling out a survey about the BOINC
|
|
software used by SETI@home; to do so, visit
|
|
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/poll.php
|
|
We want to make sure that SETI@home is easy to use for everyone,
|
|
and your comments will help us make this happen.
|
|
|
|
If you experienced problems running SETI@home,
|
|
please visit the Questions and Answers area of our web site at
|
|
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_help_desk.php
|
|
You may find the solution to your problem there;
|
|
if not, you can ask for help from project volunteers and staff.
|
|
|
|
We thank you for your involvement in SETI@home,
|
|
and hope that you rejoin us in our search
|
|
for signals from other worlds.
