Persistence of Technosignatures: A Comment on Lingam and Loeb [PDF]

open access: yesAstrobiology, 2019
In a recent paper in this journal, Lingam and Loeb (2018) develop an excellent heuristic for searches for biosignatures vs. technosignatures. We consider two ways in which their approach could be extended and sharpened, with focus on durability of technosignatures.

Time Markers for SETI in Binary Systems: History and Prospects

open access: yesAstronomy
Contemporary surveys in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) typically make one-off “spot scans” across the sky to search planetary systems for narrow-band radio signals that would indicate the presence of intelligent life.

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 ...

What is the noosphere? Planetary superorganism, major evolutionary transition and emergence

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 614-622, July/August 2024.
Abstract The noosphere remains an underappreciated and understudied idea despite that it provides unique hope towards a positive and meaningful global integration. A core reason for this lack of attention is that its very definition is often unclear both in the West with Teilhard de Chardin and in the East with Vernadsky.

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 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

Technosignatures in the Thermal Infrared

open access: yes, 2019
WISE, Gaia, and JWST provide an opportunity to compute the first robust upper limits on the energy supplies of extraterrestrial civilizations, both for stars in the Galaxy (Kardashev Type II civilizations) and for other galaxies (Kardashev Type III civilizations). Together, they allow for a nearly-complete catalog of nearby stars with infrared excesses,

The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: Galactic Center Search for Scintillated Technosignatures

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence at radio frequencies has focused on spatial filtering as a primary discriminant from terrestrial interference.

Technosignature Search with the Allen Telescope Array

open access: yes, 2022
Abstract: SETI surveys have been typically conducted at lower frequencies, i.e., less than 1.5 GHz. Utilizing the new hardware upgrades and the newly deployed Digital Signal Processing (DSP) backend of the Allen Telescope Array (ATA), we present an ongoing SETI survey of over 300 stars selected from the REsearch Consortium On Nearby Stars (RECONS ...
