BLIPSS Pulsed Technosignature Search Near the Galactic Center Using the Green Bank Telescope and a Fast Folding Algorithm

To the point

BLIPSS, led by Akshay Suresh, uses the Green Bank Telescope to search for pulsed technosignatures near the Milky Way’s center with a fast folding algorithm, finds no extraterrestrial pulsed signals in a 4.5‑hour survey covering about 50 light‑years and over half a million stars, and sets the first comprehensive pulsed‑signal search as well as the first use of this algorithm to constrain future pulsating technosignature surveys, while noting that a galactic center beacon could act as a central, wide‑reaching hub for communication that preserves some anonymity.
