A novel SETI strategy targeting the solar focal regions of the most nearby stars

Many hypotheses have been raised to explain the famous Fermi paradox. One of them is that self-replicating probes could have explored the whole Galaxy, including our Solar System, and that they are still to be detected. In this scenario, it is proposed here that probes from neighboring stellar systems could use the stars they orbit as gravitational lenses to communicate efficiently with each other. Under this hypothesis, a novel SETI approach would be to monitor the solar focal regions of the most nearby stars to search for communication devices. The envisioned devices are probably not detectable by imagery or stellar occultation, but an intensive multi-spectral monitoring campaign could possibly detect some communication leakages. Another and more direct option would be to message the focal regions of nearby stars in an attempt to initiate a reaction.

A topside investigation over a mid-latitude digisonde station in Cyprus

We examine the systematic differences between topside electron density measurements recorded by different techniques over the low-middle latitude operating European station in Nicosia, Cyprus (geographical coordinates: 35.14^oN, 33.2^oE), (magnetic coordinates 31.86^oN, 111.83 ^oE). These techniques include space-based in-situ data by Langmuir probes on board.European Space Agency (ESA) Swarm satellites, radio occultation measurements on board low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites from the COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 mission and ground-based extrapolated topside electron density profiles from manually scaled ionograms. The measurements are also compared with International Reference Ionosphere Model (IRI-2016) topside estimations and IRI-corrected NeQuick topside formulation (method proposed by Pezzopane and Pignalberi (2019)). The comparison of Swarm and COSMIC observations with digisonde and IRI estimations verifies that in the majority of cases digisonde underestimates while IRI overestimates Swarm observations but in general, IRI provides a better topside representation than the digisonde. For COSMIC and digisonde profiles matched at the F layer peak the digisonde systematically underestimates topside COSMIC electron density values and the relative difference between COSMIC and digisonde increases with altitude (above hmF2), while IRI overestimates the topside COSMIC electron density but after a certain altitude (~150 km above hmF2) this overestimation starts to decrease with altitude. The IRI-corrected NeQuick underestimates the majority of topside COSMIC electron density profiles and relative difference is lower up to approximately 100 km (above the hmF2) and then it increases. The overall performance of IRI-corrected NeQuick improves with respect to IRI and digisonde.     

Adaptive leader–follower formation control for swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles with motion constraints and unknown disturbances

In this paper, the 3D leader–follower formation control problem, which focuses on swarms of fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with motion constraints and disturbances, has been investigated. Original formation errors of the follower UAVs have been transformed into the Frenet-Serret frame. Formation control laws satisfying five motion constraints (i.e., linear velocity, linear acceleration, heading rate, climb rate and climb angle) have been designed. The convergence of the control laws has been discussed via the Lyapunov stability tool. In addition, to address the unknown disturbances, an adaptive disturbance observer is exploited. Furthermore, formation control laws involving estimated disturbances are presented as well. The collision avoidance between UAVs is achieved with the artificial potential method. Simulation results obtained using four scenarios verify the effectiveness of the proposed method in situations with constant disturbances and varying disturbances, as well as without disturbances.
