Description
I'll review SETI Instrumentation BC and AC (in the eras BeforeCasper and AfterCasper); I'll discuss what’s new in the search for extraterrestrial civilizations, concentrating on the CASPER based PANOSETI telescope arrays at Lick and Palomar Observatories.
The Panoramic Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (PANOSETI) experiment searches largely unexplored parameter space, observing a large field of view simultaneously for nanosecond to second time scale transients at visible and near-IR wavelengths. PANOSETI will also be utilized to search for dark matter annihilation and explore sources of ultra-high-energy gamma-rays.
