Technosignatures Longevity and Lindy's Law

The probability of detecting technosignatures (i.e., evidence of technological activity beyond Earth) increases with their longevity, or the time interval over which they manifest. Therefore, the assumed distribution of longevities has some bearing on the ...

Upper bounds on technoemission rates from 60 years of "silence"

Claudio Grimaldi

The lack of detection to date of electromagnetic technosignatures implies either that we have been unable to detect them due to incomplete sampling of the search space or that we cannot detect them because the Earth has been located during the entire histo ...

Demography of galactic technosignatures

Claudio Grimaldi

Probabilistic arguments about the existence of technological life beyond Earth traditionally refer to the Drake equation to draw possible estimates of the number of technologically advanced civilizations releasing, either intentionally or not, electromagne ...

Bayesian approach to SETI

Claudio Grimaldi

The search for technosignatures from hypothetical galactic civilizations is going through a new phase of intense activity. For the first time, a significant fraction of the vast search space is expected to be sampled in the foreseeable future, potentially ...

Evolution of the Fermi surface of BiTeCl with pressure

Helmuth Berger

We report measurements of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the giant Rashba semiconductor BiTeCl under applied pressures up to similar to 2.5 GPa. We observe two distinct oscillation frequencies, corresponding to the Rashba-split inner and outer Fermi sur ...

Signal coverage approach to the detection probability of hypothetical extraterrestrial emitters in the Milky Way

Claudio Grimaldi

The lack of evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial life, even the simplest forms of animal life, makes it is difficult to decide whether the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is more a high-risk, high-payoff endeavor than a futile att ...

A comment on the emission from the Galactic Center as seen by the Fermi telescope

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

In the recent paper of Hooper and Goodenough (2010) [10] it was reported that gamma-ray emission from the Galactic Center region contains an excess compared to the contributions from the large-scale diffuse emission and known point sources. This excess was ...
