I want to know if our own star is also sending out these "peculiar periodic spectral modulations"??? If our own star is doing this as well, it could indicate that our solar system is a part of some type of "network", and these 234 stars would make excellent candidates in the search for intelligent life.
- cyphar 10y agoOur star does oscillate and we have studied its oscillations in great depth within asteroseismology (specifically helioseismology). But I'm overall doubtful of the conclusions of this paper, specifically the Fourier transforms they show don't appear special to me -- it looks like granulation background you get in effectively every star (though they do say they subtracted a "smoothed spectrum").
