Redistribution of Reobservation Data

http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/reobs_error.html

'This week we are re-sending out workunits from the March 2003
candidate reobservations. We sent this data out to the SETI@home
participants before, but unfortunately, we made a mistake calculating
the speed at which the Arecibo telescope moves across the sky. This
mistake introduced a problem in some of the screensaver's gaussian and
pulse signal detection algorithms. The miscalculation was introduced
because of the new receiver we used for the candidate reobservations
(this receiver has a smaller beam size), and the zig-zag pattern we
used to scan the area around each candidate. We will have more details
on this page later.'
