Real-time Technosignature Strategies with SN 2023ixf

open access: yesResearch Notes of the AAS, 2023
Abstract Several technosignature techniques focus on historic events such as SN 1987A as the basis to search for coordinated signal broadcasts from extraterrestrial agents. The recently discovered SN 2023ixf in the spiral galaxy M101 is the nearest Type II supernova in over a decade, and will serve as an important benchmark event.

Undetected Past Contacts with Technological Species: Implications for Technosignature Science

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
In the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), the highly incomplete sampling of the technosignature search space is often considered as a plausible explanation for the persistent lack of detections over six decades of searches. If correct, this

Technosignatures in the Solar System

open access: yes, 2022
Abstract: NASA has five robotic space probes on escape trajectories from the solar system (Pioneer 11, Pioneer 12, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and New Horizons), and the Interstellar Probe is a concept likely to be submitted for consideration in the forthcoming Solar & Space Physics Decadal Survey.

The Most Sensitive SETI Observations Toward Barnard's Star with FAST

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has been mainly focused on nearby stars and their planets in recent years. Barnard’s star is the second closest star system to the Sun and the closest star in the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio

Nine axes of merit for technosignature searches [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Astrobiology, 2019
AbstractIt can be difficult to develop an effective and balanced search strategy in SETI, especially from a funding perspective, given the diverse methodologies and myriad orthogonal proposals for the best technosignatures. Here I propose a framework to compare the relative advantages and disadvantages of various proposed technosignatures based on nine

Application of the Thermodynamics of Radiation to Dyson Spheres as Work Extractors and Computational Engines and Their Observational Consequences

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
I apply the thermodynamics of radiation to Dyson spheres as machines that do work or computation and examine their observational consequences. I identify four properties of Dyson spheres that complicate typical analyses: globally, they may do no work in ...

A Search for Extraterrestrial Technosignatures in Archival FAST Survey Data Using a New Procedure

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) commensal surveys aim to scan the sky to find possible technosignatures from an extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI). The mitigation of radio frequency interference (RFI) is an important step, especially

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.

A Search for Radio Technosignatures from Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS with the Allen Telescope Array

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
In 2025 July, the third-ever interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, was discovered on its ingress into the solar system. Similar to the NASA Voyager missions sent in 1977, science probes by extraterrestrial life (“artifact technosignatures”) could be sent to ...
