Abstract
In the winter of 1967 Cambridge radio astronomers discovered a new type of radio source
of such an artificial seeming nature that for a few weeks some members of the group had to
seriously…

Eavesdropping: the radio signature of the Earth.
- PhysicsScience
- 1978
The case of planet earth is considered to understand better the information which might be derivable from radio leakage, and a model including over 2000 television transmitters is used to demonstrate the wealth of astronomical and cultural information available from a distant observer's careful monitoring of frequency and intensity variations in individual video carriers.
Messaging with cost-optimized interstellar beacons.
- PhysicsAstrobiology
- 2010
General relations for cost-optimal aperture and power are derived and costs of pulsed cost-efficient transmitters are estimated by using current cost parameters ($/W, $/m(2)) as a basis.

Costs and Difficulties of Large-Scale 'Messaging', and the Need for International Debate on Potential Risks
- Physics
- 2011
We advocate international consultations on societal and technical issues to address the risk problem, and a moratorium on future METI transmissions until such issues are resolved. Instead, we…
Detection Probability of Terrestrial Radio Signals by a Hostile Super-civilization
- Physics

Comparison of the total number of the radar astronomy transmissions with respect to that used for sending messages to extra-terrestrial civilizations reveals that the probability of detection of the…
Session 19. Future SETI: Technologies, Techniques, and Strategies
- Geology
- 2008
New technologies and techniques are explored and strategies for increasing the probabilities of detecting an alien civilization are discussed to close the gaps in the SETI search space.
Remote sensing of planetary properties and biosignatures on extrasolar terrestrial planets.
- Geology, PhysicsAstrobiology
- 2002
It is found that both the mid-IR and the visible to near-IR wavelength ranges offer valuable information regarding biosignatures and planetary properties; therefore both merit serious scientific consideration for TPF and Darwin.
