Breakthrough Listen's Automated Commensal Technosignature Survey with MeerKAT
Daniel J. Czech, David H. E. MacMahon, Ian Heywood +20
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is an ongoing effort to detect technosignatures, evidence of technologically capable life beyond Earth. Conducting a comprehensi…
Dust to Dust: Prospects for Passive Technosignatures as Relics of ETI
Brian C. Lacki
Technological societies are separated in time, not just space -- that is the lesson of the Drake equation. Might the best way to seek them be to find technosignatures that persist…
Technosignature Searches of Interstellar Objects
James R. A. Davenport, Sofia Z. Sheikh, Steve Croft +17
With the discovery of the third confirmed interstellar object (ISO), 3I/ATLAS, we have entered a new phase in the exploration of these long-predicted objects. Though confirmed disc…
Flickers, Bursts, and Dips: Detecting Rapid Variability with the g(2) Autocorrelation Function
Brian C. Lacki
Rapid optical transient events can be hard to detect because of the limited number of photons they produce. I discuss a method of inferring the presence of fast, chaotic variabilit…
