RESEARCHI work on the photometry of bright stars, extra-solar planets and SETI.
SETI I am PI of a team investigating the use of the LOFAR radio telescope for SETI. Our first spectrum at 1 Hz resolution was obtained on 2010 April 7. This is part of our programme to determine the sensitivity and ability to discriminate against terrestrial sources of LOFAR in SETI mode. If this programme produces positive results we plan an observing campaign of nearby stars.In 2010 we had a proposal in for a SETI programme with the South African MeerKAT telescope. This was not successful, but the panel announced that it was "planned to explore the potential" for SETI with MeerKAT. No timescale or details were announced. should know by mid-2010 if we have time.
