SUMMARY:Search for Astronomical Anomalies Suspected to be Extraterrestrial Technosignatures
DESCRIPTION:In the introductory part, several known astronomical anomalies are mentioned, where observations apparently contradict the canonic theory of stellar evolu-tion (SN 1987A), where some of the same kind of observed phenomena (GRB and FRB) cannot be easily explained as a high-energy stellar event of astrophysical nature, and where prosaic astrophysical explanations for highly variable stellar objects with a thick surrounding envelope are not completely convincing (Kic 8462852). The subsequent part of the presentation will be focused on what we would expect to observe from possible techno-signatures produced by Type II Kardashev extraterrestrial civilizations. The discussion will be concentrated on three main aspects: a) the search for G-type stars with a strong infrared excess; b) the search for exoplanets, using the photometric occultation technique (Kepler), that show anomalous light curves; c) the search for infrared and radio-emitting objects characterized by a very strong proper motion. This search is proposed to be the main selective protocol to be used as a “viewfinder” for re-observing the objects using standard SETI methods (radio and optical) in order to search for possible intelligent signals. A proposal of observation using the James Webb Space Telescope and other ground and space optical, infrared and radio telescopes, both photometrically and spectroscopically, is strongly advocated.
