The search for life and a new logic
Douglas Scott, Ali Frolop
Exploring the Universe is one of the great unifying themes of humanity. Part of this endeavour is the search for extraterrestrial life. But how likely is it that we will find life,…
A new kind of radio transient: ERBs
Douglas Scott, Ali Frolop
We describe the discovery of a new kind of radio transient, which we call "early-riser bursts" or ERBs. We found this new class of source by considering traditional radio searches,…
Pi in the sky
