SETI Live - Searching for ET at the Heart of the Milky Way

<p><strong>Recorded live 13 July 2023.</strong></p> <p>Hosted by Dr. Franck Marchis.</p> <p>If an alien civilization wanted to communicate with other civilizations throughout the Milky Way, the galaxy’s core holds potential as a strategic site for a beacon. Until now, radio SETI has primarily dedicated its efforts to the search for continuous signals. A new study sheds light on the remarkable energy efficiency of a train of pulses as a means of interstellar communication across vast distances. This marks the first-ever comprehensive endeavor to conduct in-depth searches for these signals. Join us in discussion with <strong>Dr. Vishal Gajjar</strong>, a SETI Institute astronomer working at the Allen Telescope Array.</p> <p>Paper: <a href= "https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/acccf0">https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/acccf0</a></p> <p> </p> <p>We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Just visit: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy">https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy</a> and donate as much as you can!</p> <p>Share the podcast with your friends and send the Patreon link to them too!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Every bit helps!
