.@TimothyQuinn of the @DarkDataProject talks about goals, challenges & opportunities of the Technsignature Research Project at @RASC's 2022 General Assembly youtu.be/Dcu7RfP4ukg #technosignatures #SETI
As @LIGO becomes more sensitive, "Rapid And/or Massive Accelerating spacecraft (RAMAcraft)" become more detectable, writes Luke Sellers et al. indifferentet.com/research/D… #technosignatures
If we could slingshot a probe around the solar system in 1989, we can eventually create an intragalactic transport system by slingshotting around black holes like SgrA*, argues Andrew Gould of @OhioState indifferentet.com/research/J… #technosignatures
"Though difficult, there are several ways which we could observe [star lifting]" writes Matthew T. Scoggins & @david_kipping in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society indifferentet.com/research/W… #technosignatures
Prof @Mike_Garrett & Andrew P.V. Siemion discuss "extend[ing] the parameter space explored by previous surveys" in "Constraints on extragalactic transmitters via Breakthrough Listen" indifferentet.com/research/z… #technosignatures
"It’s too important a search, answering too important a question, not to do well," @Astro_Wright tells @nytimes in "The Search for Intelligent Life Is About to Get a Lot More Interesting" nytimes.com/2022/09/15/magaz… #technosignatures #jwst @adamfrank4 @haqqmisra

~40 lightyears out, TRAPPIST-1e is finally catching a late night broadcast of Alien and taking it, probably, quite personally
If we're on the verge of creating self-replication technology, why haven't neighboring ETIs sent von Neumann probes, asks Alex Ellery of @Carleton_U in #InternationalJournalOfAstrobiology indifferentet.com/research/f… #technosignatures
.@Penn_State's Nick Tusay et al. describe a search for nearby probes phoning home via gravitationally lensed radio signals indifferentet.com/research/G… #technosignatures
"Searches for #technosignatures could be conducted with existing data or through commensal observing with other programs, [advancing] technosignature science without the need to invest in new major resources," notes @haqqmisra et al in #ActaAstronautica indifferentet.com/research/m…
"Quantum communication mediated by photons could be established across interstellar distances," suggest Arjun Berera & Jaime Calderón-Figueroa in @PhysRevD indifferentet.com/research/Y… #technosignature #SETI
Marcus Märtens of @ESA et al explain how to optimally build a Dyson structure indifferentet.com/research/y… #technosignature #SETI #ESA #dyson_sphere
Matías Suazo et al, writing in the Monthly Notices of the @RoyalAstroSoc, estimate max number of partial Dyson spheres within our galaxy indifferentet.com/research/z…

Cost of @NASA's Enceladus Orbitlander, which might or might not get built and won't launch for at least 15 years: ~4.9B. Cost of buying @Twitter: ~44B. So I think we've got one potential solution to the #Fermi_paradox here.
Atmospheric NH3 and N2O may act as a #technosignature for extraterrestrial agriculture, writes @haqqmisra et al in #Astrophysical_Journal indifferentet.com/research/r…
