The Search for Technosignatures: a Review of Possibilities
Clément Vidal, Benji L. Fields, Damian R. Sowinski +19
This paper reviews the diverse range of technosignatures that have been proposed in the literature. We organize the review by spatial scales from the Earth and the solar system to…
Predictions of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Galactic Exoplanet Survey. IV. Lens Mass and Distance Measurements
Sean K. Terry, Etienne Bachelet, Farzaneh Zohrabi +54
As part of the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS), the Nancy Grace Roman Galactic Exoplanet Survey (RGES) will use microlensing to discover cold outer planets and free-float…
The La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey
Adam A. Miller, Natasha S. Abrams, Greg Aldering +75
We present the La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey (LS4), a new wide-field, time-domain survey to be conducted with the 1 m ESO Schmidt telescope. The 268 megapixel LS4 camera mosaics…
Earth Detecting Earth: At what distance could Earth's constellation of technosignatures be detected with present-day technology?
Sofia Z. Sheikh, Macy J. Huston, Pinchen Fan +5
The field of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) searches for ``technosignatures'' that could provide the first detection of life beyond Earth through the technolog…
SynthPop: A New Framework for Synthetic Milky Way Population Generation
Jonas Klüter, Macy J. Huston, Abigail Aronica +6
We present SynthPop, a new open source, modular population synthesis Galactic modeling software to simulate catalogs of Milky Way stars along any sightline outward from the Sun. Mo…
On Finding Black Holes in Photometric Microlensing Surveys
Zofia Kaczmarek, Peter McGill, Scott E. Perkins +5
There are expected to be millions of isolated black holes in the Galaxy resulting from the death of massive stars. Measuring the abundance and properties of this remnant population…
SETI in 2022
Jason T. Wright, Macy Huston, Aidan Groenendaal +2
In this third installment of SETI in 20xx, we very briefly and subjectively review developments in SETI in 2022. Our primary focus is 80 papers and books published or made public i…
A Candidate High-Velocity Exoplanet System in the Galactic Bulge
Sean K. Terry, Jean-Philippe Beaulieu, David P. Bennett +11
We present an analysis of adaptive optics (AO) images from the Keck-I telescope of the microlensing event MOA-2011-BLG-262. The original discovery paper by Bennett et al. 2014 repo…
Roman CCS White Paper: Characterizing the Galactic population of isolated black holes
Casey Y. Lam, Natasha Abrams, Jeff Andrews +34
Although there are estimated to be 100 million isolated black holes (BHs) in the Milky Way, only one has been found so far, resulting in significant uncertainty about their propert…
The Galactic Center with Roman
Sean K. Terry, Matthew W. Hosek, Jessica R. Lu +31
We advocate for a Galactic center (GC) field to be added to the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS). The new field would yield high-cadence photometric and astrometric measur…
RoSETZ: Roman Survey of the Earth Transit Zone -- a SETI-optimized survey for habitable-zone exoplanets
Eamonn Kerins, Supachai Awiphan, Kathryn Edmondson +12
In this White Paper for Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) science, we propose the Roman Survey of the Earth Transit Zone (RoSETZ), a transit search for rocky planets within…
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…
First Detections of Exop(lan)ets: Observations and Follow-Ups of the Floofiest Transits on Zoom
Sabina Sagynbayeva, Briley L. Lewis, Graham M. Doskoch +16
With the proliferation of online Zoom meetings as a means of doing science in the 2020s, astronomers have made new and unexpected Target of Opportunity (ToO) observations. Chief am…
SETI in 2021
Macy J. Huston, Jason T. Wright
In this second installment of SETI in 20xx, we very briefly and subjectively review developments in SETI in 2021. Our primary focus is 98 papers and books published or made public…
Project Hephaistos I. Upper limits on partial Dyson spheres in the Milky Way
Matías Suazo, Erik Zackrisson, Jason T. Wright +2
Dyson spheres are hypothetical megastructures built by advanced extraterrestrial civilizations to harvest radiation energy from stars. Here, we combine optical data from Gaia DR2 w…
Evolutionary and Observational Consequences of Dyson Sphere Feedback
Macy J. Huston, Jason T. Wright
The search for signs of extraterrestrial technology, or technosignatures, includes the search for objects which collect starlight for some technological use, such as those composin…
Furthering a Comprehensive SETI Bibliography
Julia LaFond, Jason T. Wright, Macy J. Huston
In 2019, Reyes & Wright used the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) to initiate a comprehensive bibliography for SETI accessible to the public. Since then, updates to the library…
The Initial Mass Function of Low-mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs in the W3 Complex
M. J. Huston, K. L. Luhman
We have used archival infrared images obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 on board the Hubble Space Telescope to constrain the initial mass function of low-mass stars and brown d…
