Radio SETI Observations of the Anomalous Star KIC 8462852

TL;DR

This study used the Allen Telescope Array to search for extraterrestrial signals from KIC 8462852 across 1-10 GHz but found no evidence of narrowband or medium band signals, contributing to SETI efforts.

Contribution

First radio SETI observations of KIC 8462852 covering 1-10 GHz, establishing upper limits on potential extraterrestrial signals.

Findings

No narrowband signals detected at 180-300 Jy in 1 Hz channels.

No medium band signals above 10 Jy in 100 kHz channels.

Set constraints on possible extraterrestrial radio emissions from KIC 8462852.

Abstract

We report on a search for the presence of signals from extraterrestrial intelligence in the direction of the star system KIC 8462852. Observations were made at radio frequencies between 1-10 GHz using the Allen Telescope Array. No narrowband radio signals were found at a level of 180-300 Jy in a 1 Hz channel, or medium band signals above 10 Jy in a 100 kHz channel.
