Detectability of Artificial Lights from Proxima b

Elisa Tabor, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. May 17, 2021.

Tabor and Loeb forecast detectability of hypothetical artificial illumination on Proxima b. This is not a detection. The paper acknowledges an estimated instrument noise floor ten times its predicted signal.

Detecting industrial pollution in the atmospheres of earth-like exoplanets

Henry W. Lin, Gonzalo Gonzalez Abad, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. July 21, 2014.

Lin, Gonzalez Abad and Loeb model whether hypothetical industrial pollutants could be detected in an exoplanet atmosphere. Their exposure forecasts are conditional and supply no detected pollution or civilization.

SETI via Leakage from Light Sails in Exoplanetary Systems

James Guillochon, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. September 3, 2015.

Guillochon and Loeb model possible leakage from hypothetical light-sail propulsion systems. Simulated observing windows depend on assumed inhabited systems and operating choices; the paper supplies no detection or deployed apparatus.

Natural and Artificial Spectral Edges in Exoplanets

Manasvi Lingam, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. May 25, 2017.

Lingam and Loeb propose spectral edges from hypothetical extensive photovoltaic surfaces as possible technosignatures. Contrast and power estimates depend on assumed coverage, reflectivity and geometry. Vegetation, minerals, clouds and ordinary heat transport remain alternatives. The figures combine cited reflectance curves and a schematic orbital scenario. The paper reports no detected extraterrestrial arrays. Historical instrument forecasts, manuscript comments and work-level Starshot support are qualified separately.
