Marine Science Can Contribute to the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Life [PDF]

open access: yesLife
Life on our planet likely evolved in the ocean, and thus exo-oceans are key habitats to search for extraterrestrial life. We conducted a data-driven bibliographic survey on the astrobiology literature to identify emerging research trends with marine ...

Prospects of SETI by small size optical telescopes [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2022
In the present manuscript we consider the possibility of conducting SETI with small-size (with diameters less than 1 m) optical telescopes. Calculations are performed for typical parameters of the mentioned type of telescopes. In particular, we show that
