A recent Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)
effort studied 86 candidates in the Kepler space
observatory's field for radio signals that could
potentially indicate the presence of an intelligent
civilization.
Of course, no radio signals were found, but the search
did identify the most promising Kepler objects for wide-
band observations using the Green Bank Telescope in
West Virginia.
"The 86 target stars were selected because they
hosted planets discovered by [the year] 2011 with
properties that could be conducive to the development
of life," said Abhimat Gautam, of the University of
California, Berkeley.
