Possibilities for SETI at High Energy
Brian C. Lacki, Stephen DiKerby
High-energy SETI pushes astrobiology to its limits, testing the most fundamental needs of life and the most extreme limits of technology. It has lagged behind the rest of the field…
Searching for broadband pulsed beacons from 1883 stars using neural networks
Vishal Gajjar, Dominic LeDuc, Jiani Chen +19
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence at radio frequencies has largely been focused on continuous-wave narrowband signals. We demonstrate that broadband pulsed beacons are e…
The Breakthrough Listen Search For Intelligent Life Near the Galactic Center I
Vishal Gajjar, Karen I. Perez, Andrew P. V. Siemion +23
A line-of-sight towards the Galactic Center (GC) offers the largest number of potentially habitable systems of any direction in the sky. The Breakthrough Listen program is undertak…
Re-Analysis of Breakthrough Listen Observations of FRB 121102: Polarization Properties of Eight New Spectrally Narrow Bursts
Jakob T. Faber, Vishal Gajjar, Andrew P. V. Siemion +15
We report polarization properties for eight narrowband bursts from FRB 121102 that have been re-detected in a high-frequency (4-8 GHz) Breakthrough Listen observation with the Gree…
Lens Flare: Magnified X-Ray Binaries as Passive Beacons in SETI
Brian C. Lacki
Low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) containing neutron stars are both extremely luminous and compact, emitting up to ~10^6 L_sun within a kilometer-scale boundary layer. This combinati…
SETI at Planck Energy: When Particle Physicists Become Cosmic Engineers
Brian C. Lacki
What is the meaning of the Fermi Paradox -- are we alone or is starfaring rare? Can general relativity be united with quantum mechanics? The searches for answers to these questions…
