Some Comments on Possible Preferred Directions for the SETI Search

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel approach to SETI by focusing on stars with transiting planets that cause mini-eclipsings of the Sun, potentially improving search efficiency for extraterrestrial signals.

Contribution

It introduces a new observational strategy for SETI, emphasizing stars with transiting planets as promising targets for detecting extraterrestrial signals.

Findings

Potentially more efficient SETI search method

Focus on stars with mini-eclipsings of the Sun

Suggests a targeted approach for future observations

Abstract

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence by looking for signals from advanced technological civilizations has been ongoing for some decades. We suggest that it could possibly be made more efficient by focusing on stars from which the solar system can be observed via mini-eclipsings of the Sun by transiting planets.
