The Lunar Farside Transients and Technology Telescope (LFT3) Mission
David R. DeBoer, Charlie K. Ashe, Owen A. Johnson +12
We present here an overview of the Lunar Farside Transients and Technology Telescope (LFT3) mission to take advantage of the extremely clear radio frequency environment on the luna…
Modelling Radio Frequency Interference on the Lunar Farside
Charlie K. Ashe, Ella J. Marshall, Evan F. Keane +3
Technological progress is a double-edged sword in the world of radio astronomy: improvements in antennas, receivers, and digital backends increase sensitivity, but rapid growth in…
A cooler look at the environment of Cygnus X-1: Searching for dynamical interactions within cold molecular gas
Pau Bosch-Cabot, Alexandra J. Tetarenko, Valentà Bosch-Ramon +7
We present IRAM--30m observations aimed at identifying potential outflow-interstellar medium interaction sites in the vicinity of the black hole X-ray binary Cygnus X--1, which dis…
Searching for Extraterrestrial Intelligence with the SKA
Chenoa D. Tremblay, Alex Andersson, Joe Bright +19
The search for technosignatures (also known as the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence or SETI) depends critically on our ability to distinguish artificial signals from the ri…
A jet bent by a stellar wind in the black hole X-ray binary Cygnus X-1
Steve Prabu, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Arash Bahramian +7
Jets provide an important channel for kinetic feedback from accreting black holes into their environment, without which models of the formation of large-scale structure in the univ…
On the distance to the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613
Benjamin J. Burridge, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Arash Bahramian +11
We review the existing distance estimates to the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613, present new radio and near-UV spectra to update the distance constraints, and discuss…
