WORK HISTORY
Citizen Scientist @NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
The search for technosignatures uses the 100 meter Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in an observing mode that is sensitive to Arecibo-class transmitters located within 415 light years of Earth and to transmitters that are times more effective located within light years of Earth (Margot et al, 2023). The observations sample 800 MHz of bandwidth in L band (1.1–1.9 GHz), a region of the radio spectrum that contains “a unique, objective standard of frequency, which must be known to every observer in the universe: the outstanding radio emission line at 1,420 Mc./s.(λ=21 cm) of neutral hydrogen” (Cocconi and Morrison, 1959). For each hour of telescope time, the search covers 8 directions on the sky that include thousands of stars, and it yields ~5 million narrowband signal detections, approximately 99.5% of which are automatically classified by the data processing pipeline as anthropogenic radio frequency interference (RFI). The remaining detections per hour constitute promising candidate technosignatures. This citizen science platform is designed to identify the most promising signals among those.
