Polarization Properties of the Electromagnetic Response to High-frequency Gravitational Wave

Jian-Kang Li, Wei Hong, Tong-Jie Zhang

Electromagnetic waves (EMWs) can be generated by gravitational waves (GWs) within a magnetic field via the Gertsenshtein effect. The conversion probability between GWs and EMWs can…

Drift Rates of Narrowband Signals in Long-term SETI Observations for Exoplanets

Jian-Kang Li, Haichen Zhao, Zhenzhao Tao +2

The Doppler shift of a radio signal is caused by the relative motion between the transmitter and receiver. The change in frequency of the signal over time is called drift rate. In…
