TL;DR
This paper evaluates the detectability of extraterrestrial von-Neumann probes by China's FAST telescope, demonstrating its capability to identify both galactic and extragalactic self-replicating probes with high accuracy.
Contribution
It provides the first detailed analysis of FAST's ability to detect Type-2.x and Type-3.x extraterrestrial self-replicating probes based on spectral parameters.
Findings
FAST can detect galactic self-replicating probes.
FAST can detect extragalactic self-replicating probes.
High detection precision for extraterrestrial probes.
Abstract
In the present paper we consider the Type-2.x and Type-3.x extraterrestrial von-Neumann probes and study the problem of their detectability by the world's largest radio telescope: the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST). For this purpose we estimate the radio spectral parameters and analyse the obtained results in the context of technical characteristics of FAST. As a result, it is shown that FAST can detect as galactic as well as extragalactic self-replicating probes with high precision.
