“…For astrophysical purposes, the American space agency (NASA) developed an Origami folding geometry called “Starshade,” which is characterised by a particularly high difference between its closed and open state. …”

Doppler Constraints on Planetary Companions to Nearby Sun-like Stars: An Archival Radial Velocity Survey of Southern Targets for Proposed NASA Direct Imaging Missions by Katherine Laliotis, Jennifer A. Burt, Eric E. Mamajek, Zhexing Li, Volker Perdelwitz, Jinglin Zhao, R. Paul Butler, Bradford Holden, Lee Rosenthal, B. J. Fulton, Fabo Feng, Stephen R. Kane, Jeremy Bailey, Brad Carter, Jeffrey D. Crane, Elise Furlan, Crystal L. Gnilka, Steve B. Howell, Gregory Laughlin, Stephen A. Shectman, Johanna K. Teske, C. G. Tinney, Steven S. Vogt, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Robert A. Wittenmyer

“…We present an analysis of archival radial velocity data for southern stars from the NASA/NSF Extreme Precision Radial Velocity (EPRV) Working Group’s list of high-priority target stars for future DI missions (drawn from the HabEx, LUVOIR, and Starshade Rendezvous studies). For each star, we constrain the region of companion mass and period parameter space we are already sensitive to based on the observational baseline, sampling, and precision of the archival radial velocity (RV) data. …”

Deciding Technosignature Search Strategies: Multi-Criteria Fuzzy Logic to Find Extraterrestrial Intelligence by Juan Miguel Sánchez-Lozano, Eloy Peña-Asensio, Hector Socas-Navarro

“…Notably, radio and optical communications are emphasized, in contrast to dark side illumination and starshades in transit. We introduce a new axis, Scale Sensitivity, designed to assess the variability of TS metrics. …”
