Narrowband Radio Technosignature Search toward 3I/ATLAS with FAST
read the original abstract
3I/ATLAS is the third confirmed interstellar object passing through the Solar System. In this work, we conduct narrowband radio technosignature search toward 3I/ATLAS using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) L-band multibeam receiver from October 2025 to January 2026 on 4 separate dates (i.e. Mars closest, perihelion, Earth closest and a post-Earth-closest epoch, respectively). We carry out frequency-drifting signal searching with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) over 10 within 1.05-1.45 GHz via \texttt{bliss} pipeline. These signal hits are grouped into event by beam, frequency and drift rate matching, the events are then filtered by cluster analysis and drift rate cut-off. We also characterized the events by their significance in SNR, structure tensor as well as principal component analysis (PCA). No credible narrowband radio technosignature are detected from 3I/ATLAS after visual inspections. The null results place constraints on the presence of transmitters above $2.862\times 10^{-3}$ W. We further introduce a Bayesian inference framework to assess the occurrence probability of hypothetical transmitters while accounting for uncertainty in their characteristic transmitter power through physically motivated priors.

Assessment of the Mass Loss and Radius Change of 3I/ATLAS Based on Observed Production Rates
The paper estimates 3I/ATLAS lost 1.05-6.56 meters of surface material (0.10-1.13% of its mass, or 10^9-10^10 kg) during its solar system passage based on observed production rates.
