Searching for a message in the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background
Michael Hippke
The Creator of the universe could place a message on the most cosmic of all billboards, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) sky. It was proposed by Hsu & Zee (2006) to to search…
Interstellar communication network. II. Deep space nodes with gravitational lensing
Michael Hippke
Data rates in an interstellar communication network suffer from the inverse square law due to the vast distances between the stars. To achieve high (Gbits/s) data rates, some combi…
Low-cost precursor of an interstellar mission
René Heller, Guillem Anglada-Escudé, Michael Hippke +1
The solar photon pressure provides a viable source of thrust for spacecraft in the solar system. Theoretically it could also enable interstellar missions, but an extremely small ma…
Transit least-squares survey -- III. A transit candidate in the habitable zone of Kepler-160 and a nontransiting planet characterized by transit-timing variations
René Heller, Michael Hippke, Jantje Freudenthal +3
The Sun-like star Kepler-160 (KOI-456) has been known to host two transiting planets, Kepler-160 b and c, of which planet c shows substantial transit-timing variations (TTVs). We u…
