对近200颗毫秒脉冲星的研究表明,一些无线电信号的来源不仅在恒星表面附近,也可能来自更远的区域,这些区域与伽马射线辐射有关。

一篇新论文辩称,传统SETI研究数十年来过于狭隘地专注于无线电和微波频率,而在更广泛的电磁波谱上进行搜索可以大大提高探测到外星信号的几率。

SETI researchers say artificial intelligence tools could dramatically improve the chances of detecting extraterrestrial signals by sifting through vast radio data more effectively.

The LOFAR telescope array has completed the most comprehensive radio survey of the universe ever conducted, mapping 13.7 million cosmic sources including supermassive black holes, merging galaxies, and supernova remnants. The survey opens a new window on phenomena invisible to optical telescopes.
Columbia University scientists working with the Breakthrough Listen project have identified a millisecond pulsar candidate spinning at 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*. If confirmed, the discovery could provide a powerful new tool for testing Einstein's general relativity under extreme gravitational conditions.
