Prospects of SETI by small size optical telescopes

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

In the present manuscript we consider the possibility of SETI by the small size (with diameters less than 1 m) optical telescopes. Calculations are performed for typical parameters of the mentioned type of telescopes. In particular, we show that the techno-signatures of Type-2.x and Type-3.x civilizations might be detected. It is demonstrated that it is possible to detect as hot megastructures (up to 4000 K) built around main sequence stars and pulsars as well as von Neumann extraterrestrial probes.
