The Breakthrough Listen search for intelligent life is, to date, the most extensive technosignature search of nearby celestial objects. We present a radio technosignature search of…
COSMIC: An Ethernet-based Commensal, Multimode Digital Backend on the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
Chenoa D. Tremblay, Savin Shynu Varghese, Jack Hickish +14
The primary goal of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is to gain an understanding of the prevalence of technologically advanced beings (organic or inorganic) in t…
A deep-learning search for technosignatures of 820 nearby stars
Peter Xiangyuan Ma, Cherry Ng, Leandro Rizk +14
The goal of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is to quantify the prevalence of technological life beyond Earth via their "technosignatures". One theorized technos…
A Search for Radio Technosignatures at the Solar Gravitational Lens Targeting Alpha Centauri
Nick Tusay, Macy J. Huston, Cayla M. Dedrick +17
Stars provide an enormous gain for interstellar communications at their gravitational focus, perhaps as part of an interstellar network. If the Sun is part of such a network, there…
Searching for broadband pulsed beacons from 1883 stars using neural networks
Vishal Gajjar, Dominic LeDuc, Jiani Chen +19
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence at radio frequencies has largely been focused on continuous-wave narrowband signals. We demonstrate that broadband pulsed beacons are e…
A radio technosignature search towards Proxima Centauri resulting in a signal-of-interest
Shane Smith, Danny C Price, Sofia Z Sheikh +15
The detection of life beyond Earth is an ongoing scientific endeavour, with profound implications. One approach, known as the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), seeks…
Analysis of the Breakthrough Listen signal of interest blc1 with a technosignature verification framework
Sofia Z. Sheikh, Shane Smith, Danny C. Price +15
The aim of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is to find technologically-capable life beyond Earth through their technosignatures. On 2019 April 29, the Breakthrou…
