Abstract

ABSTRACT We report on a search for the presence of signals from extraterrestrial intelligence in the direction of the star system KIC 8462852. Observations were made at radio frequencies between 1 and 10 GHz using the Allen Telescope Array. No narrowband radio signals were found at a level of 180–300 Jy in a 1 Hz channel, or medium band signals above 10 Jy in a 100 kHz channel.
