Stellar Space Weather Broadens Ultra-Narrow Signals, Reframing SETI Search Strategies

To the point

Vishal Gajjar and Grayce Brown explain that space weather around distant stars can blur ultra-narrow radio signals before they reach Earth, especially for M-dwarfs, so SETI searches should be sensitive to broader signals and use a framework that estimates how much broadening to expect across star types and observing frequencies, based on solar-system measurements.

How ‘space weather’ may cause alien signals to get lost in space

Turbulent plasma near distant stars could blur ultra-narrow signals before they leave their home star systems - making them difficult to detect.
