A Search for Radio Technosignatures from Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS with the Allen Telescope Array
Sofia Z. Sheikh, Valeria Garcia Lopez, Isabel Gerrard +12
In 2025 July, the third-ever interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, was discovered on its ingress into the Solar System. Similar to the NASA Voyager missions sent in 1977, science probes b…
The NANOGrav 15 yr and 20 yr Datasets: Timing Events and Pulse Shape Changes
Ben Jacobson-Bell, James M. Cordes, Shami Chatterjee +61
The average pulse shape of a pulsar is typically stable over decadal timescales, enabling estimation of pulse times of arrival to better than a small fraction of the pulse width us…
Breakthrough Listen Observations of 3I/ATLAS with the Green Bank Telescope at 1-12 GHz
Ben Jacobson-Bell, Steve Croft, Ellie White +3
3I/ATLAS, an interstellar object, made its closest approach to Earth on 2025 December 19. On 2025 December 18, the Breakthrough Listen program conducted a technosignature search to…
Anomaly Detection and Radio-frequency Interference Classification with Unsupervised Learning in Narrowband Radio Technosignature Searches
Ben Jacobson-Bell, Steve Croft, Carmen Choza +7
The search for radio technosignatures is an anomaly detection problem: Candidate signals represent needles of interest in the proverbial haystack of radio-frequency interference (R…
