A Birth-Death-Migration Model for Life in Astrophysical Environments
Manasvi Lingam, Claudio Grimaldi, Amedeo Balbi
To assess the number of life-bearing worlds in astrophysical environments, it is necessary to take the intertwined processes of abiogenesis (birth), extinction (death), and transfe…
Feasibility of Detecting Interstellar Panspermia in Astrophysical Environments
Claudio Grimaldi, Manasvi Lingam, Amedeo Balbi
The proposition that life can spread from one planetary system to another (interstellar panspermia) has a long history, but this hypothesis is difficult to test through observation…
Demography of galactic technosignatures
Claudio Grimaldi
Probabilistic arguments about the existence of technological life beyond Earth traditionally refer to the Drake equation to draw possible estimates of the number of technologically…
Quantifying the information impact of future searches for exoplanetary biosignatures
Amedeo Balbi, Claudio Grimaldi
One of the major goals for astronomy in the next decades is the remote search for biosignatures (i.e.\ the spectroscopic evidence of biological activity) in exoplanets. Here, we ad…
Searching for Technosignatures: Implications of Detection and Non-Detection
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Anamaria Berea, Amedeo Balbi +1
The search for technosignatures from the Galaxy or the nearby universe raises two main questions: What are the possible characteristics of technosignatures? and How can future sear…
