Screening for Technosignatures via the Hertzsprung–Russell Diagram in Red and White Dwarfs
To the point
Researchers propose using the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, inspired by Freeman Dyson’s energy‑harvesting idea, to hunt for technosignatures around cool, long‑lived stars (red and white dwarfs) by pairing infrared data from WISE and JWST with the stars’ HR positions, spectra, variability, and infrared excess while ruling out natural explanations.
