A new class of SETI beacons that contain information (22-aug-2010)
G. R. Harp, R. F. Ackermann, Samantha K. Blair +4
In the cm-wavelength range, an extraterrestrial electromagnetic narrow band (sine wave) beacon is an excellent choice to get alien attention across interstellar distances because 1…
Primary Beam and Dish Surface Characterization at the Allen Telescope Array by Radio Holography
ATA GROUP, Shannon Atkinson, D. C. Backer +46
The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is a cm-wave interferometer in California, comprising 42 antenna elements with 6-m diameter dishes. We characterize the antenna optical accuracy usi…
The Allen Telescope Array Pi GHz Sky Survey I. Survey Description and Static Catalog Results for the Bootes Field
Geoffrey C. Bower, Steve Croft, Garrett Keating +50
The Pi GHz Sky Survey (PiGSS) is a key project of the Allen Telescope Array. PiGSS is a 3.1 GHz survey of radio continuum emission in the extragalactic sky with an emphasis on syno…
The Allen Telescope Array Twenty-centimeter Survey - A 690-Square-Degree, 12-Epoch Radio Dataset - I: Catalog and Long-Duration Transient Statistics
Steve Croft, Geoffrey C. Bower, Rob Ackermann +48
We present the Allen Telescope Array Twenty-centimeter Survey (ATATS), a multi-epoch (12 visits), 690 square degree radio image and catalog at 1.4GHz. The survey is designed to det…
A Re-appraisal of the Habitability of Planets Around M Dwarf Stars
Jill C. Tarter, Peter R. Backus, Rocco L. Mancinelli +29
Stable, hydrogen-burning, M dwarf stars comprise about 75% of all stars in the Galaxy. They are extremely long-lived and because they are much smaller in mass than the Sun (between…
Megachannel Extraterrestrial Assay Candidates: No Transmissions from Intrinsically Steady Sources
T. Joseph W. Lazio, Jill Tarter, Peter R. Backus
This paper reports new, more sensitive observations of nine of the eleven extrastatistical signals in the Megachannel Extraterrestrial Assay (META). These extrastatistical signals…
PKS 1830-211: A Possible Compound Gravitational Lens
J. E. J. Lovell, J. E. Reynolds, D. L. Jauncey +11
Measurements of the properties of gravitational lenses have the power to tell us what sort of universe we live in. The brightest known radio Einstein ring/gravitational lens PKS 18…
