Breakthrough Listen Radio Observations of Transiting Exoplanet Systems As we attempt to answer the question, “are we alone in the universe?”, there are many places to search. Although life might not necessarily arise in environments similar to Earth, Earth-like exoplanets are
GBT Breakthrough Listen observations of the “Random Transiter” HD 139139 A mysterious stellar system was identified this year, exhibiting 28 transit-like events over 87 days in Kepler data. This system is called EPIC 249706694 / HD 139139, and many proposed astrophysical transit scenarios have
GNU Radio Hacking SETI Berkeley SETI, Breakthrough Listen, the SETI Institute, and the GNU Radio community collaborated to host a hackathon at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory in Northern California last week. HCRO is home to the
data analysis Open data Breakthrough Listen generates huge amounts of data, particularly from the two main radio telescopes where we're doing routine observations, Green Bank and Parkes (and we'll be generating even more once we begin routine
FRB FRB121102: Mysterious and magnetic The source of the strange repeating pulses of radio emission from Fast Radio Burst 121102, observed in new detail earlier this year by the Breakthrough Listen science team at Berkeley SETI Research Center,
oumuamua Silence from 'Oumuamua We've completed our analysis of 8 hours of Green Bank Telescope observations of "interstellar visitor" 'Oumuamua. Billions of channels, covering the frequency range 1 - 12 GHz, were scanned, over an
GBT Observations of 692 Nearby Stars with the GBT Earlier this year, we submitted a paper on our analysis of 692 stars (press release). We are happy to announce that it has now been accepted for publication in AAS. For those of
