Developing a Drift Rate Distribution for Technosignature Searches of Exoplanets

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
A stable-frequency transmitter with relative radial acceleration to a receiver will show a change in received frequency over time, known as a “drift rate.” For a transmission from an exoplanet, we must account for multiple components of drift rate: the ...

Different Frontier, Same Legal Script? On the Course of Replicating Earth's Patterns in Space

The Modern Law Review, Volume 89, Issue 5, Page 723-759, September 2026.
As states and private actors expand their activities in outer space, the international legal framework governing this domain risks extending longstanding structures of global inequality beyond Earth. This article examines how international space law, shaped by a broader disciplinary pattern of reactive legal development, is poised to reproduce ...

Model of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence with Coronagraphic Imaging [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2019
Abstract We present modeled detection limits of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) and the Wide-Field Infrared Space Telescope (WFIRST) to an optical and infrared laser which could be used by an extraterrestrial civilization to signal their presence.

Harnessing Generative AI Within Human‐Aligned Constraints: Exploring Control Strategies and Existential Considerations

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
We propose the Powerful‐but‐Limited Generative AI theorem, demonstrating that embedding human‐inspired constraints, such as fixed utility functions and neuro‐symbolic submission layers, ensures generative AI remains controllable by preventing self‐improvement beyond designer intent.

What Is Space Bioethics?

Bioethics, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 558-564, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Classical bioethics examines moral issues in terrestrial medicine and the life sciences. According to Konrad Szocik, space bioethics merely relocates those questions to harsher environments. We argue that this view is incomplete: space bioethics is a genuinely original domain.

The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: Technosignature Search of 97 Nearby Galaxies

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
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 the centers of 97 nearby galaxies, observed by Breakthrough Listen at the

Out There No One Has a Right to Die

Bioethics, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 565-572, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The eventual goal of space exploration is to colonize exoplanets and their moons outside our solar system. This is a dangerous and immoral endeavour. The extraterrestrial life forms encountered would be hostile, vulnerable or both, and the descendants of the original pioneers would be involuntarily exposed to hazardous conditions and ...

A Simultaneous Dual-site Technosignature Search Using International LOFAR Stations

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence aims to find evidence of technosignatures, which can point toward the possible existence of technologically advanced extraterrestrial life. Radio signals similar to those engineered on Earth may be transmitted

Contemporary disasters may not kill more women than men: an empirical inquiry into sex‐differentiated fatalities in the twenty‐first century

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological,
