Optical SETI : A Spectroscopic Search for Laser
We have searched for nonastrophysical emission lines in the optical spectra of 577 nearby F, G, K, and M main{sequence stars. Emission lines of astrophysical origin would also have been detected, such as from a time{variable chromosphere or infalling comets. We examined 20 spectra per star obtained during four years with the Keck/HIRES spectrometer at a resolution of 6 km s ?1 , with a detectio...
متن کاملOptical SETI At Harvard-Smithsonian
A high-intensity pulsed laser, teamed with a moderate sized transmitting telescope, forms an efficient interstellar beacon. To a distant observer in the direction of its slender beam, such a laser transmitter, built with “Earth 2000” technology only, would appear (during its brief pulse) a thousand times brighter than our sun in broadband visible light; even at ranges of 1000 light years a sing...
متن کاملProxy Means Tests for Targeting Subsidies Scheme in Iran
In this paper I develop a Proxy Means Tests (PMT) model and examine several targeting lines based on 2008 household survey data to identify beneficiaries for a targeting subsidy scheme in Iran. Based on the findings of this study, setting a cut-off percentile of 40% is expected to provide compensation for almost 70 percent of the poorest households. This will result in the highest accuracy main...
متن کاملAn All-sky Optical Seti Survey
We present plans for an all-sky search for pulsed optical SETI beacons at Agassiz station in Harvard, Massachusetts. We will use a 1.8 meter f/2.5 spherical “light bucket” (2-3 arcmin resolution) focused onto a multi-pixel camera consisting of sixteen 64-pixel photomultiplier tubes (with pixels measuring 1.5 arcmin on a side) in two matched focal planes. It will observe a 1. ◦6× 0 . ◦2 patch of...
متن کاملOptical SETI with NASA’s Terrestrial Planet Finder
NASA’s space-borne nulling interferometer (the Terrestrial Planet Finder – TPF) will look for the traces of early life in the infrared spectra of extrasolar planets, beginning in roughly 2010. We point out that this instrument will also be sensitive to deliberate laser transmissions from a technologically advanced civilization. A kilowatt-class infrared laser with a 10-m beam director would pro...
