How=20 many times have you met a stranger hundreds or thousands of miles away=20 from

We are using our soundcards to process the audio from = For the simple signals assumed of beacons, neither AM nor FM modes will produce any output. A strong signal would quiet the FM reception, but we aren't looking for strong signals. Basically both of these are methods of recovering modulation. You can actually get an idea of the benefit of sideband by tuning through weak AM stations. You will hear carrier whistles even when you can't hear the stations in AM mode (you will also hear the whistles when the broadcast is quiet). > our receivers.

In terms of that separation, probably 10s of kHz, but the noise received is proportional to the bandwidth, so someone trying to be found will use bandwidths as narrow as the technology allows. The interstellar medium limits this to about 0.05Hz (50mHz, with m used properly, not like in computer adverts). > Content-Type: text/html; Invalid HTML deleted.

The Astrogeology Research Program contributes to and serves to support a variety of projects for agencies throughout the Federal Government, including NASA, JPL, Departments of Defense and Energy, and the USGS. We participate in all phases of flight mission support through providing scientific input for mission planning, creating precise planetary images and maps, and supplying landing site maps and characterization. Our mission participation and activities include the 2003 Mars Exploration Rover, the Cassini Mission to Saturn, Clementine, Galileo, Mars Odyssey, Near/Shoemaker, Deep Space 1, and Space Shuttle Imaging Radar. Scientists in the Astrogeology Research Program research topics in a number of fields such as terrestrial and planetary remote sensing and monitoring, planetary geologic processes, and astrobiology. An important aspect of the Astrogeology Research Program's work is involved in planetary cartography and mapping. There is a wide variety of information developed in this field, including geodesy, photogrammetry, image processing, geologic mapping, and nomenclature.

Scientists in the Astrogeology Resea= rch Program research topics in a number
of fields such as terrestrial = and planetary remote sensing and monitoring,
planetary geologic proces= ses, and astrobiology. An important aspect of the
Astrogeology Researc= h Program's work is involved in planetary cartography
and mapping. The= re is a wide variety of information developed in this
field, including= geodesy, photogrammetry, image processing, geologic
mapping, and nome= nclature.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-public@setileague.org Precedence: bulk Forwarded on behalf of SETI League secretary A. Heather Wood: On Wednesday morning, 19 June 2002, SETI League's Executive Director Dr. H. Paul Shuch will be featured on the Art Bell Show, along with noted UFOlogist Stanton T. Friedman. This dialog will obviously give The SETI League some great exposure as well as offering an interesting discussion -- Mr. Friedman has stated that he believes SETI is a waste of time, while Dr. Shuch has questioned the scientific credibility of some UFO research. The discussion is *not* a debate, but rather a respectful dialog between colleagues, as the two participants hold each other in high esteem, despite their differences of opinion on the question of alien visitation. Date: Wednesday 19 June 2002 Time: from 0200 to 0500 EDT (0600 - 0900 UTC), Premiere Radio Network (check Art Bell's website, , for your local affiliate). The program should also be available on streaming audio from that website.

Now we're sifting through these signals. The first step involves comparing the redundant results for each work uni= t, making sure they agree, and discarding erroneous results. Then we identify the times and frequencies at which man-made interference has occurred, so that we can filter it out. Finally we look for signals that are "persistent" - that occur at the same place and frequency, but at different times. Currently we have checked our Gaussian and pulse signals, and have found several thousand persistent signals; see http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/Candidates/index.html We are applying for telescope time at Arecibo to reobserve these points in the sky. We continue to record data on the Hydrogen line band at Arecibo. Our receiver was out of operation from August 2001 to March 2002 because of hardware problems at Arecibo. We installed a new receiver and have started recording again. We've also started using the SETI@home data tapes for two completely different purposes: making a map of hydrogen gas in the Milky Way, and searching for broadband pulses that might be evidence of evaporating black holes - a phenomenon that has been predicted but not observed. We also might detect broadband pulses from ET; no one has ever tried this= . ---------------------------------------------------- PROJECT NEWS SETI@home continues to grow. In May 2001 we recorded our 3 millionth user, in September we passed the ZettaFLOP (10^21 operations) mark - by far the largest computation ever performed (at least on Earth!), and recently we surpassed one million years of CPU time. We are working on new SETI searches, using new versions of SETI@home software. We hope to start recording data at a telescope in Australia (with coverage of most of the southern sky) and to expand our frequency coverage at Arecibo, if we can raise the fund= s. With success has come a variety of technical problems. The most serious of these happened in early 2002 when the U.C. Berkeley Internet connection became saturated; during peak hours little bandwidth was available to SETI@home and many users were unable to connect and get work units. We have solved this problem by getting our own high-speed network connect= ion. ---------------------------------------------------- NEW WEB SITE FEATURES We've added many new features to our web site, including: - User profiles: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/user_profile/profile_menu= .html Write about yourself and about SETI, show a picture of yourself, and browse profiles of other users.
