The Breakthrough Listen search for intelligent life is, to date, the most extensive technosignature search of nearby celestial objects. We present a radio technosignature search of…
A VERITAS/Breakthrough Listen Search for Optical Technosignatures
Atreya Acharyya, Colin Adams, Avery Archer +65
The Breakthrough Listen Initiative is conducting a program using multiple telescopes around the world to search for "technosignatures": artificial transmitters of extraterrestrial…
RoSETZ: Roman Survey of the Earth Transit Zone -- a SETI-optimized survey for habitable-zone exoplanets
Eamonn Kerins, Supachai Awiphan, Kathryn Edmondson +12
In this White Paper for Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) science, we propose the Roman Survey of the Earth Transit Zone (RoSETZ), a transit search for rocky planets within…
A 4-8 GHz Galactic Center Search for Periodic Technosignatures
Akshay Suresh, Vishal Gajjar, Pranav Nagarajan +6
Radio searches for extraterrestrial intelligence have mainly targeted the discovery of narrowband continuous-wave beacons and artificially dispersed broadband bursts. Periodic puls…
A new technique to measure noise parameters for global 21-cm experiments
Danny C. Price, Cheuk-Yu Edward Tong, Adrian T. Sutinjo +2
Radiometer experiments to detect 21-cm Hydrogen line emission from the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization rely upon precise absolute calibration. During calibration, noise gener…
A deep-learning search for technosignatures of 820 nearby stars
Peter Xiangyuan Ma, Cherry Ng, Leandro Rizk +14
The goal of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is to quantify the prevalence of technological life beyond Earth via their "technosignatures". One theorized technos…
The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: A Laser Search Pipeline for the Automated Planet Finder
Anna Zuckerman, Zoe Ko, Howard Isaacson +4
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has traditionally been conducted at radio wavelengths, but optical searches are well-motivated and increasingly feasible due to…
Measuring Noise Parameters Using an Open, Short, Load, and 1/8-wavelength Cable as Source Impedances
Danny C. Price, Cheuk-Yu Edward Tong, Adrian T. Sutinjo +2
Noise parameters are a set of four measurable quantities which determine the noise performance of a radio-frequency device under test. The noise parameters of a 2-port device can b…
Beamforming approaches toward detecting the 21-cm global signal from Cosmic Dawn with radio array telescopes
Danny C. Price
The formation of the first stars and galaxies during 'Cosmic Dawn' is thought to have imparted a faint signal onto the 21-cm spin temperature from atomic Hydrogen gas in the early…
Setigen: Simulating Radio Technosignatures for SETI
Bryan Brzycki, Andrew P. V. Siemion, Imke de Pater +6
The goal of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is the detection of non-human technosignatures, such as technology-produced emission in radio observations. While ma…
