Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array telescope's data will now help scientists hunt for technosignatures.
The VLA is an astronomical observatory consisting of 27 antennas spread over 23 miles of desert real estate. Each of these telescopes is 25 meters in diameter and can be rearranged into different configurations to capture radio signals from space. For the last six years, the observatory has been involved in a project known as VLASS , which aimed at a radio reconnaissance of 80 percent of the sky. Scientists fed a copy of the data into a special receiver sporting very narrow channels.
, the Breakthrough Listen Initiative. According to the team, signals from an artificially constructed transmitter will contain such narrow bands, and their discovery would indicate the presence of an advanced community."COSMIC operates commensally, which means it works in the background using a copy of the data astronomers are taking for other scientific purposes,” said Paul Demorest, Scientist and Group Lead for VLA/VLBA Science Support at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.
