Deciding Technosignature Search Strategies: Multi-Criteria Fuzzy Logic to Find Extraterrestrial Intelligence

open access: yesAerospace
This study presents the implementation of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methodologies, particularly the fuzzy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), in prioritizing technosignatures (TSs) for the search for ...

Observational Constraints on the Great Filter

open access: yes, 2020
The search for spectroscopic biosignatures with the next-generation of space telescopes could provide observational constraints on the abundance of exoplanets with signs of life.

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.

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.

Exoplanet Terra Incognita

open access: yes, 2018
Exoplanet surface imaging, cartography and the search for exolife are the next frontiers of planetology and astrophysics. Here we present an over-view of ideas and techniques to resolve albedo features on exoplanetary surfaces.

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

A Limited Habitable Zone for Complex Life

open access: yes, 2019
The habitable zone (HZ) is commonly defined as the range of distances from a host star within which liquid water, a key requirement for life, may exist on a planet's surface. Substantially more CO2 than present in Earth's modern atmosphere is required to

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.

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 ...
