Amedeo Balbi, Milan M. Ćirković
It is well-known that the chances of success of SETI depend on the longevity of technological civilizations or, more broadly, on the duration of the signs of their existence, or te…
Evaluation of investigational paradigms for the discovery of non-canonical astrophysical phenomena
Caitlyn A. K. Singam, Jacob Haqq-Misra, Amedeo Balbi +6
Non-canonical phenomena - defined here as observables which are either insufficiently characterized by existing theory, or otherwise represent inconsistencies with prior observatio…
The Impact of the Temporal Distribution of Communicating Civilizations on their Detectability
Amedeo Balbi
We use a statistical model to investigate the detectability (defined by the requirement that they are in causal contact with us) of communicating civilizations within a volume of t…

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +225
The performance of the Planck instruments in space is enabled by their low operating temperatures, 20K for LFI and 0.1K for HFI, achieved through a combination of passive radiative…
