Concepts for future missions to search for technosignatures

open access: yesActa Astronautica, 2021
New and unique opportunities now exist to look for technosignatures (TS) beyond traditional SETI radio searches, motivated by tremendous advances in exoplanet science and observing capabilities in recent years.

A Search for Technosignatures Around 11,680 Stars with the Green Bank Telescope at 1.15–1.73 GHz

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We conducted a search for narrowband radio signals over four observing sessions in 2020–2023 with the L -band receiver (1.15–1.73 GHz) of the 100 m diameter Green Bank Telescope.

Earth Detecting Earth: At What Distance Could Earth’s Constellation of Technosignatures Be Detected with Present-day Technology?

open access: yesAstronomical Journal
The field of Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) searches for “technosignatures” could provide the first detection of life beyond Earth through the technology that an extraterrestrial intelligence may have created.

COSMIC’s Large-scale Search for Technosignatures during the VLA Sky Survey: Survey Description and First Results [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Developing algorithms to search through data efficiently is a challenging part of searching for signs of technology beyond our solar system. We have built a digital signal processing system and computer cluster on the backend of the Karl G.

An Extragalactic Widefield Search for Technosignatures with the Murchison Widefield Array

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal
It is common for surveys that are designed to find artificial signals generated by distant civilizations to focus on galactic sources. Recently, researchers have started focusing on searching for all other sources within the field observed, including the

A note on the Vukotić-Gordon mini-earths [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2023
A recent proposal for a new kind of astroengineering artifact due to Vukotić and Gordon (2022) is discussed, in particular in light of multiple benefits offered by the magnetic Penrose process.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons as an Extraterrestrial Atmospheric Technosignature

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are prevalent in the Universe and interstellar medium but are primarily attributed to anthropogenic sources on Earth, such as fossil fuel combustion and firewood burning.

Life detection in a universe of false positives

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
The ultimate goal of astrobiology is to determine the distribution and diversity of life in the universe. But there's a big problem: Most of the planets in our universe are outside our reach. For these exoplanets, can we really ever be certain if they contain life or not?

A Green Bank Telescope Search for Narrowband Technosignatures between 1.1 and 1.9 GHz During 12 Kepler Planetary Transits

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Agrowing avenue for determining the prevalence of life beyond Earth is to search for “technosignatures” from extraterrestrial intelligences/agents. Technosignatures require significant energy to be visible across interstellar space and thus intentional ...

Technosignatures as a Priority in Planetary Science [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the AAS, 2021
Are we alone? ​ The study of technosignatures, physical manifestations of technology from extraterrestrial intelligences, is a rigorous astrobiological sub-discipline. The Planetary Science decadal should include searches for technosignatures alongside biosignatures in its recommendations for funding a robust astrobiology research portfolio.
