What are the new methods that can be developed in the search for intelligence outside the planet? This is what a modern white paper hopes to take as a couple of researchers from the listening project that invented and discussed the Michigan State University how high -energy astronomy can be used to determine radio signals from a technological civilization outside the planet, also called Technosignatures.
This study has the ability to help Seti and other organizations to develop new technologies to find a smart life outside the ground, The universe today Reports.
For the white paper, the researchers assessed the reason for the presence of high -energy astronomy, which includes celestial things that emit cosmic rays, gamma rays, and X -rays, by SETI to determine technology, indicating how it has grown in recent years.
In addition, they discussed the potential sources of high-energy emissions, including neutrons, X-rays, cosmic rays, gamma rays, vibrant winds, neutron stars, black holes, solar energy manipulation, and gamma-gamma books (GRBS). Regarding how this specifically contributes to defining technologies, researchers note how high -energy signals can be an indication of the form of communication, industry and habitats.
For communication, high -energy signals can indicate the presence of technology where high -energy signals are often needed to send large amounts of data.
For the industry, high -energy signals can be an indication of specific activities, including missiles, reactors, nuclear energy, wheels, or even dyson and stars engines, as the last two were bypassing the technological capabilities of the Earth.
As for the halls, high -energy signals can be an indication of life on the surface of neutron stars that live from nuclear energy and radiation from which neutron stars emit. Finally, researchers discussed the following steps to integrate high -energy astronomy into SETI, including using machine learning, searching for X -ray images, neutrino, and gamma radi notes.
The study indicates that “high -power Seti to a large extent should be a scattered effort in the foreseeable future. The designated programs will not be feasible until after further investigation.
At this stage, our efforts will be like the efforts of the early and visual radio pioneers who have developed decades that have been growing to become a strong sub -field today.
More essential reason for commensal studies is the difficulty of building optics for some types of radiation. Since we cannot make neutrino lenses, each neutrino detector is sensitive to the large sky regions, making it the Seti Comminsal facility. “
The driving force behind SETI is the SETI Institute, which was established in 1984 with the aim of wiping the heavens to the signals that can refer to smart life outside the Earth.
Although no final signals are determined, it can be said that the closest humanity came to receive a signal from another world that happened seven years before the establishment of the SETI Institute.
This was quickly known as Wow! Signal, which was a radio signal that lasted for more than one minute and was received by the Big Ear Radio Telescope at Ohio State University.
This sign was so strong that astronomy trainee, Jerry Iman, wrote the word “Wow!” By reading data. Despite repeated attempts, astronomers at Big Ear have not been able to determine the same sign again, and a signal has not yet been determined for this strength and length since then.
As the search for Technosignatures continues, this white paper explains how SETI can enhance and adapt its methods to determine smart life beyond the Earth, especially the ways that may seem unnecessary or unreliable.
Since the traditional techniques to search for radio signals on specific frequencies have shown zero results, they may open high -energy astronomy to help astronomers better to understand the universe regardless of the search for technologies.
How will high -energy astronomical physics help astronomers in determining technology in the coming years and decades? Only the time will tell us, that is why we know!
