The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: Searching Boyajian's Star for Laser Line Emission
David Lipman, Howard Isaacson, Andrew P. V. Siemion +10
Boyajian' s Star (KIC 8462852) has received significant attention due to its unusual periodic brightness fluctuations detected by the Kepler Spacecraft and subsequent ground based…
The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: No Evidence of Claimed Periodic Spectral Modulations in High Resolution Optical Spectra of Nearby Stars
Howard Isaacson, Andrew P. V. Siemion, Geoffrey W. Marcy +4
We report on high-resolution spectra obtained by the Automated Planet Finder and high resolution optical Levy Spectrometer and the search for periodic spectral modulations, such as…
Science with an ngVLA: SETI Searches for Evidence of Intelligent Life in the Galaxy
Steve Croft, Andrew P. V. Siemion, James M. Cordes +3
Radio SETI experiments aim to test the hypothesis that extraterrestrial civilizations emit detectable signals from communication, propulsion, or other technologies. The unprecedent…
Fast Radio Burst 121102 Pulse Detection and Periodicity: A Machine Learning Approach
Yunfan Gerry Zhang, Vishal Gajjar, Griffin Foster +4
We report the detection of 72 new pulses from the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102 in Breakthrough Listen C-band (4-8 GHz) observations at the Green Bank Telescope. The new pu…
Panoramic optical and near-infrared SETI instrument: prototype design and testing
Maren Cosens, Jérôme Maire, Shelley A. Wright +12
The Pulsed All-sky Near-infrared Optical Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (PANOSETI) is an instrument program that aims to search for fast transient signals (nano-second to…
Panoramic optical and near-infrared SETI instrument: optical and structural design concepts
Jérôme Maire, Shelley A. Wright, Maren Cosens +13
We propose a novel instrument design to greatly expand the current optical and near-infrared SETI search parameter space by monitoring the entire observable sky during all observab…
Panoramic optical and near-infrared SETI instrument: overall specifications and science program
Shelley A. Wright, Paul Horowitz, Jérôme Maire +13
We present overall specifications and science goals for a new optical and near-infrared (350 - 1650 nm) instrument designed to greatly enlarge the current Search for Extraterrestri…
Detection of Bursts from FRB 121102 with the Effelsberg 100-m Radio Telescope at 5 GHz and the Role of Scintillation
Laura G Spitler, W Herrmann, Geoffrey C Bower +8
FRB 121102, the only repeating fast radio burst (FRB) known to date, was discovered at 1.4 GHz and shortly after the discovery of its repeating nature, detected up to 2.4 GHz. Here…
Highest-frequency detection of FRB 121102 at 4-8 GHz using the Breakthrough Listen Digital Backend at the Green Bank Telescope
V. Gajjar, A. P. V. Siemion, D. C. Price +28
We report the first detections of the repeating fast radio burst source FRB 121102 above 5.2 GHz. Observations were performed using the 48 GHz receiver of the Robert C. Byrd Gre…
The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: Wide-bandwidth Digital Instrumentation for the CSIRO Parkes 64-m Telescope
Danny C. Price, David H. E. MacMahon, Matt Lebofsky +22
Breakthrough Listen is a ten-year initiative to search for signatures of technologies created by extraterrestrial civilizations at radio and optical wavelengths. Here, we detail th…
No bursts detected from FRB121102 in two 5-hour observing campaigns with the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope
Danny C. Price, Vishal Gajjar, Lee Rosenthal +13
Here, we report non-detection of radio bursts from Fast Radio Burst FRB 121102 during two 5-hour observation sessions on the Robert C. Byrd 100-m Green Bank Telescope in West Virgi…
Breakthrough Listen Observations of 1I/'Oumuamua with the GBT
J. E. Enriquez, A. Siemion, T. J. W. Lazio +10
We have conducted a search for radio emission consistent with an artificial source targeting 1I/'Oumuamua with the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) between 1.1 and 11.6 GH…
