11/5(Sun) 18:15-19:00 @ SEDS Lab
Present: Chris, Ben, Yuki, Serena, Phil, Vit, Serina

We talked about radio observations from the Moon's far side.

Wouldn't it be awesome to actually detect signals from intelligent lives
elsewhere?  It'll be one of the greatest discoveries in Earth's human
history.  It'd be really exciting to try to figure out what kind of
information is in the signal to learn about other lives.  With increasing
radio noise from Earth, Moon's far side is pretty much the only place free
from the noise.  Also, humans on Earth haven't really explored the
universe through the part of the electromagnetic spectrum below 30MHz...
we might discover something totally new!

Anyways, here's what we said in the meeting.

Radio
--------
Objects: ET, active galaxies, star formation, cosmic background radiation

Questions:
        - Are you there, ET?
        - What's happening in active galaxies?
        - Galaxy evolution?
        - What can we see at the lowest frequencies < 30 MHz ?
Data:
        - ET: high frequency resolution in narrow bandwidth.
        - Active galaxies: high resolution
        - Lots of processing on site.
Planned/existing:
        - On Earth (Alma, km^2 array)
        - HALCA (submilliarcsec resolution)

Relative advantages:
        - far side, blocking all noise from Earth
