  Mountain View CA (SPX) Oct 24, 2023 In a new study published in the Astronomical Journal, researchers used the known population of exoplanets and extrapolated to the much larger, unknown population of exoplanets to set better thresholds for planetary effects on signals from ETIs (extraterrestrial intelligences). The prior recommendation for the threshold "drift rate" contribution, caused by a planet's motion around its host star, was 200 nHz. In this work, lead author Megan Grace Li and her team found that 53 nHz was sufficient in 9 ... read more |
