The Drake Equation as a Function of Spectral Type and Time
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Ravi Kumar Kopparapu
This chapter draws upon astronomical observations and modeling to constrain the prevalence of communicative civilizations in the galaxy. We discuss the dependence of the Drake equa…
Why do we find ourselves around a yellow star instead of a red star?
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Ravi Kumar Kopparpu, Eric T. Wolf
M-dwarf stars are more abundant than G-dwarf stars, so our position as observers on a planet orbiting a G-dwarf raises questions about the suitability of other stellar types for su…
The Ĝ Infrared Search for Extraterrestrial Civilizations with Large Energy Supplies. II. Framework, Strategy, and First Result
J. T. Wright, R. Griffith, S. Sigurðsson +2
We describe the framework and strategy of the Ĝ infrared search for extraterrestrial civilizations with large energy supplies, which will use the wide-field infrared surveys of WIS…
The Ĝ Infrared Search for Extraterrestrial Civilizations with Large Energy Supplies. I. Background and Justification
J. T. Wright, B. Mullan, S. Sigurðsson +1
We motivate the Ĝ infrared search for extraterrestrial civilizations with large energy supplies. We discuss some philosophical difficulties of SETI, and how communication SETI circ…
The Benefits and Harms of Transmitting Into Space
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Michael Busch, Sanjoy Som +1
Deliberate and unintentional radio transmissions from Earth propagate into space. These transmissions could be detected by extraterrestrial watchers over interstellar distances. He…
