Expanding the SETI Frontier: 6.1 Million Stars in ALMA Commensal Searches at Millimeter Frequencies
To the point
Louisa Mason shows that using the Besançon Galactic Model to reinterpret radio telescope observations reveals about 6.1 million stars in the field of view—far more than Gaia catalogs count—and that commensal SETI with ALMA at millimeter and submillimeter frequencies expands the target pool and search space, even though no signals have been found.
