Searching for Extraterrestrial Technologies Within Our Solar System

چکیده
We speculate about possible cosmic exploration by extraterrestrial civilizations using interstellar smart probes. We call attention to some emerging technologies that may be used for interstellar exploration. We estimate that advanced civilizations may already have these technologies and may be using them to contact their galactic neighbors. We explore some observational consequences of these contacting strategies.

Energy Modeling and Simulation including particle technologies within Single and Double Pass Solar Air Heaters
In order to obtain the best performance of the solar air heaters, it is necessary to find optimum performance conditions. The aim of this research paper is to achieve optimum conditions, by comparing single and double pass solar air heaters. Also, a brief review study of various related research works of all scenarios for a single and double pass and packed bed (including particle technologies)...
متن کاملDetecting Patterns of a Technological Intelligence in Remotely Sensed Imagery
Originally, the goal in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) was to detect the existence of extraterrestrial life by their radio frequency (microwave) emissions [1]. More recently its scope has expanded to include the search for extraterrestrial intelligence at optical frequencies [2], and the search for extraterrestrial artifacts (SETA) in our solar system [3, 4]. This paper is ...
متن کاملA distributed JXTA-based architecture for searching and retrieving solar data
This paper describes a hybrid distributed architecture, based on the JXTA technology, for searching and discovering data in a federation of solar observation archives. This work has been developed within the European project EGSO (European Grid of Solar Observations) with the intent of studying and analysing a set of technologies and showing the brokerage capabilities of a highly controlled dis...
متن کاملImproving photovoltaic performance through radiative cooling in both terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments.
The method of detailed balance, introduced by Shockley and Queisser, is often used to find an upper theoretical limit for the efficiency of semiconductor pn-junction based photovoltaics. Typically the solar cell is assumed to be at an ambient temperature of 300 K. In this paper, we describe and analyze the use of radiative cooling techniques to lower the solar cell temperature below the ambient...
متن کاملFinding extraterrestrial sites for thermophiles.
Virtually our entire knowledge of the universe comes from two sorts of measurement of the electromagnetic radiation from the stars and galaxies within it; either their flux through relatively wide bandpasses (photometry), or measurements of the shape and wavelength of relatively narrow lines via spectroscopy. These techniques are now being used to discover planets outside our solar system, and ...
