Project Hephaistos -- III. Characterizing anomalous infrared sources identified as Dyson-sphere candidates
Andreas J. Korn, MatÃas Suazo, Erik Zackrisson +3
The paper investigates seven nearby M dwarfs with unusual infrared excesses that could indicate Dyson‑sphere‑like technosignatures, analyzing photometric and spectroscopic data and…
Project Hephaistos -- IV. James Webb Space Telescope Observations of Two Dyson Sphere Candidates
Erik Zackrisson, Arjan Bik, Anita Ali Asgar +11
We report on JWST/MIRI imaging and spectroscopy of two M-dwarf stars previously singled out by project Hephaistos as potential Dyson-sphere candidates (their candidates D and E) du…
Archival Diagnostics for Potential Background Contaminantsof Project Hephaistos Dyson Sphere Candidates
Tongtian Ren, Michael A. Garrett, Erik Zackrisson +4
We report on the diagnostic investigation of nine Project Hephaistos Dyson Sphere candidate M-dwarfs based on archival data. By comparing the Gaia DR3 positions with epoch 2016.0,…
The impact of stellar binaries and star cluster dynamics on pair-instability supernovae
Francesco Gabrielli, Cristiano Ugolini, Lavinia Paiella +12
Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are among the most luminous transients in the Universe. However, they have never been confidently observed. Solving this puzzle would have key i…
How can we finally see the first light? Status and perspective in the search for Population III stars
Alessandra Venditti, Daniel Schaerer, Erik Zackrisson +28
Finding the first (Population III or Pop III) stars is one of the fundamental quests of astronomy, aiming to deliver the missing link in how stars form at early cosmic times. Yet t…
Square Kilometer Array Synergies for the Epoch of Reionization and Cosmic Dawn
Anirban Chakraborty, Tirthankar R. Choudhury, Kanan K. Datta +15
Synergies with other instruments will be essential in making, verifying, and interpreting a detection of the cosmic 21-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) and Cosmic Daw…
