    Subject: SETI public: SETI parameter space

    For a forthcoming book and article that I'm researching, I am looking for a
    summary of the SETI parameter space already searched (more detailed than
    Crawford' summary in SCIAM July 2000) and the data that has been stored, as
    specified in
    http://history.nasa.gov/SP-419/s3.2.htm> and
    http://history.nasa.gov/SP-419/s2.5.htm> (assuming these are still up to
    date).

    For example:

    Star and location
    Distance from Earth
    Inferred EIRP of source
    Frequency
    Receiver sensitivity
    Antenna figure of merit
    Receiver RF bandwidth
    Stored data (number of unit observations per target, number of
    polarizations, bin width, bits/bins, etc.)
    Duration of integration time
    Etc.

    I am new to this list and to the SETI field, so my apologies if this subject
    has already been covered on the list or is too elementary.

    Thanks very much,
