Possibility of a coordinated signaling scheme in the galaxy and SETI experiments.

SETO N.

Abstract (from CDS):

We discuss a Galaxy-wide coordinated signaling scheme with which a SETI observer needs to examine a tiny fraction of the sky. The target sky direction is determined as a function of time, based on high-precision measurements of a progenitor of a conspicuous astronomical event such as a coalescence of a double neutron star binary. In various respects, such a coordinated scheme would be advantageous for both transmitters and receivers, and might be widely prevailing as a tacit adjustment. For this scheme, the planned space gravitational-wave detector LISA and its follow-on missions have the potential to narrow down the target sky area by a factor of 103–4, and could have a large impact on future SETI experiments.
