Width-Aware Technosignature Searches: Space-Weather Broadening and the Great Silence
To the point
Space turbulence can broaden narrow alien radio signals as they travel, so searches that expect razor-thin signals may miss them; the proposal is to use width-aware detection that looks for broader signals and matches methods to what actually arrives on Earth, focusing on Earth-like worlds such as TRAPPIST-1e and K2-18b as promising targets.
