Searches for transient sources and extraterrestrial technologies with the European VLBI Network

Our group is currently commissioning a commensal observing system for the European VLBI Network (EVN) that will permit parallel science pipelines to run alongside traditional correlation and imaging. These parallel pipelines could include fast / slow transient searches, searches for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) or other applications, and could operate on a variety of data products, including incoherent sums, closure quantities or raw voltages from individual stations.
