A Search for Transient, Monochromatic Light in a 6-deg Swath along the Galactic Plane

Geoffrey W. Marcy, Nathaniel K. Tellis

We searched the Milky Way Plane along a 6-deg swath for pulses of monochromatic light as faint as 15th mag (V band) using a wide-field telescope equipped with a prism. Pulses with…

Search for Transient, Monochromatic Light from the Galactic Plane

Geoffrey W. Marcy, Nathaniel K. Tellis

The Galactic Plane was searched for transient, monochromatic light at optical and near-IR wavelengths to detect pulses shorter than 1 sec. An objective-prism Schmidt telescope and…

A Search for Monochromatic Light Toward the Galactic Centre

Geoffrey W. Marcy, Nathaniel K. Tellis, Edward H. Wishnow

A region 140 square degrees toward the Galactic Centre was searched for monochromatic optical light, both pulses shorter than 1 sec and continuous emission. A novel instrument was…

Laser Communication with Proxima and Alpha Centauri using the Solar Gravitational Lens

Geoffrey W. Marcy, Nathaniel K. Tellis, Edward H. Wishnow

A search was conducted for laser signals, both sub-second pulses and continuous emission, from the regions of the sky opposite Proxima and Alpha Centauri. These regions are located…

Area Coverage of Expanding E.T. Signals in the Galaxy: SETI and Drake's N

Claudio Grimaldi, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Nathaniel K. Tellis +1

The Milky Way Galaxy contains an unknown number, , of civilizations that emit electromagnetic radiation (of unknown wavelengths) over a finite lifetime, . Here we are assumin…

A Search for Laser Emission with Megawatt Thresholds from 5600 FGKM Stars

Nathaniel K. Tellis, Geoffrey W. Marcy

We searched high resolution spectra of 5600 nearby stars for emission lines that are both inconsistent with a natural origin and unresolved spatially, as would be expected from ext…

A Search for Optical Laser Emission Using Keck HIRES

Nathaniel K. Tellis, Geoffrey W. Marcy

We present a search for laser emission coming from point sources in the vicinity of 2796 stars, including 1368 Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs) that host one or more exoplanets. W…
