Rethinking SETI: Stellar Space Weather Distorts Narrowband Signals into Broadband Signatures
To the point
Space weather around distant stars can distort radio signals, turning a narrow transmission into a broader spread, so SETI searches should look for distorted broadband patterns rather than only ultra-narrow spikes, especially around active M-dwarf stars; Jack Thomas notes that calibrating turbulence models with solar wind data helps predict these distortions.
