Interstellar communication. VI. Searching X-ray spectra for narrowband communication
Michael Hippke, Duncan H. Forgan
We have previously argued that targeted interstellar communication has a physical optimum at narrowband X-ray wavelengths nm, limited by the surface roughness of focus…
Interstellar communication. III. Optimal frequency to maximize data rate
Michael Hippke, Duncan H. Forgan
The optimal frequency for interstellar communication, using "Earth 2017" technology, was derived in papers I and II of this series (arXiv:1706.03795, arXiv:1706.05570). The framewo…
Photogravimagnetic assists of light sails: a mixed blessing for Breakthrough Starshot?
Duncan H. Forgan, René Heller, Michael Hippke
Upon entering a star system, light sails are subject to both gravitational forces and radiation pressure, and can use both in concert to modify their trajectory. Moreover, stars po…
Exoplanet Transits as the Foundation of an Interstellar Communications Network
Duncan H Forgan
Two fundamental problems for extraterrestrial intelligences (ETIs) attempting to establish interstellar communication are timing and energy consumption. Humanity's study of exoplan…
