CARL SAGAN CENTERfor the study of life in the universe

Taking Flight!

This year was a very successful year for the Carl Sagan Center (CSC), and this impres-sive report is a reflection of your commitment to excellence: We are publishing in high profile journals; we are recognized leaders in our fields, and our work is being acknowl-edged regularly by our peers through prestigious honors and awards. We also share our passion of exploration and discovery with the public, and I am always amazed to see how the number of our public lectures often times surpass our professional presentations. That speaks volume about dedication. You are the best advocates of the Institute, and in a world where education is facing so many challenges, you are the voice of science and the keepers of the flame for the next generation.

This year also marked Cassini’s Grand Finale. Many of you were involved with this prestigious mission, For all of us, the day Cassini plunged into Saturn’s atmosphere was bittersweet. However, as one mission ends, new ones are being readied (e.g., JWST, TESS, Mars 2020, ExoMars, and others), and the SETI Institute is already present at various levels in these missions, and will be directly involved with these exciting new chapters of exploration.

When it comes to the inner workings of the CSC, this year brought a real improvement in our proposal success rate. During the retreat at Asilomar, I shared with you my con-cerns about the 2016 numbers, and together, we took a hard look at what could be im-proved. The Science Council took charge and went through a deep review and some soul searching to understand how to be more successful. As a result, there is now a process to help you with grant writing and proposal submission, and we will make sure to provide you all the support we can to keep the momentum going.

Meanwhile, you took charge too. I was delighted to see how you started to communicate with each other, review each other’s proposals whenever possible, asked for advice and for collaboration, and sometimes for instruments as well, within the SETI Institute

ActivityReport 2017Research, Education and Public Outreach

community. This is really what it is all about: team work. Yes, we do sometimes compete against each other for the same grant money, and will continue to do so; but we are also learning to work together whenever possible, and in doing so, we are becoming stronger. The success of one is the success of all, and this is starting to pay dividend, literally. Since the retreat, we have received now over two third of the results for the 2017 proposal season. At this point in time, our success rate is above national average by a good margin. It is an average over all programs, and success is program-depen-dent. There are still areas that will require serious work but, overall, 2017 is turning out to be a very successful year, and you should be extremely proud of this.

Your engagement in the process is key to this success. It will be even more important in the coming months, as we are de-fining the strategic vision for the years to come, creating new opportunities for us all through new collaborations, and new ways of doing business. Your engagement with your Research Group Chairs and the Science Council will be key. Remem-ber, this is your Institute, and by being involved, you are making your voice heard, and help shape your own future. While I am here to steer and suggest, I am also – and more importantly – here to listen and help, and to implement your ideas to the best of my abilities.

As I always say: My door is always open, and I am also only one email away.

Indeed, there is a lot to be proud of this year, and we will celebrate all these successes together. While there is always prog-ress to be made, I certainly can say that this year saw us all starting to think as a unit, and working more with, and for, each other. Embarking on that path was critical, and you are making it happen.

I would like to end this letter by thanking all of those who are working behind the scene to make it all happen every single day in all departments of the Institute.

Thank you!

CENTER FOR EDUCATION

The 2017 Activity Report, a copious compendium of events and publications, is just the tip of the iceberg of the undertakings and efforts of the SETI Institute in the name of education and public engagement. Our day to day efforts, and incremental milestones are a significant part of our 2017 report. The Center for Education pillar programs, NASA Airborne Astronomy Ambassadors (AAA) and Reaching for the Stars: NASA Science for Girl Scouts progressed through the kick-off, professional development, flight week experiences, and evaluation of the Cycle 6 AAA; and rounds of testing and revising Girl Scout Space Science Badges, as well as holding astronomy camps. Unique in 2017, Girl Scout Destination Camps on the path of eclipse totality, and Girl Scout Eclipse Boxes & Activity Guides were successful due to great collaboration with our Co-Investigators. We were fortunate to have the REU and FDL programs on site, and look forward to the energy those programs bring to us.

I offer my sincere gratitude to my Institute colleagues that embraced communication and collaboration across centers, that mentor students and life-long learners, that give public talks and that visit classrooms and libraries.

CENTER FOR OUTREACH

2017 was an amazing year in so many ways. At the SETI Institute, our more than 75 sci-entists and researchers have continued to advance the SETI Institute’s mission to explore, understand and explain the origin and nature of life in the universe, and the evolution of intelligence. As evidenced by this compendium of accomplishments they do this through world-class scientific research, in the field and in the lab, through collaboration with one another and with scientists at other institutions, through participation in major scientific conferences, meetings and committees and through publication in peer-reviewed scien-tific journals. All this is only part of their contributions. At the SETI Institute’s Center for Outreach we believe that science is not just for scientists. Sharing our research and enthusiasm for scientific understanding has always been one of our goals. We seek not only to share our work, but to inform, inspire and empower the general public with a deeper understand-ing of science and its implications for humanity. For these reasons, our scientists are incredibly active in our outreach activities. These efforts include creating content for our website and social media, participating in our monthly public lecture series, SETI Talks, joining us for weekly Facebook Live discussions of their work, offering talks at schools and libraries, public events, astronomy clubs and other informal venues, making them-selves available to the media to discuss their work and answer questions, writing articles for our magazine, Explorer, and taking the time to not only explain their work but to put it into a context that clarifies why it matters.

At the Center for Outreach we are grateful not only to be working with a talented, ded-icated and accomplished team of scientists, but deeply appreciative of the many ways each and every one of them contribute to sharing the stories of their discoveries with the world. Who knows what 2018 will bring, but we do know we will be amazed.

40. Farewell Cassini: On September 15 Cassini ended its 20-year mission with a dramatic plunge into Saturn’s atmosphere. Cassini spent 13 years in orbit around Saturn and as a result we have amassed a wealth of knowledge about Saturn, its rings, moons and weather. We know that at least two of its moons, Titan and Enceladus have the potential for life. Through its scientists (e.g., M. Showalter and his group, M. Tiscareno, P. Estrada), the SETI Institute strongly supported the Cassini mission and contributed to the vast body of knowledge the mission brought, and also to the mission’s legacy. A number of our researchers were present at JPL for the farewell event. Bill Diamond, the Institute’s CEO, was present at NASA Headquarters in Washington on Sept. 15.

41. FDL. The teams and projects for the 2017 Frontier Development Lab were selected. The much-expanded program was hosted at the SETI Institute.

43. Freund, F. ULF EM Radiation Field: Some of the previously poorly understood influences from the planetary environment are coming ever more into focus. With respect to the ultralow frequency (ULF) electromagnetic (EM) radiation field that is generated by the Schumann Resonances (SR), I have made progress. It has long been noticed that the ULF EM field has a remarkably strong effect on the proper functioning of essential life functions. Through my recent appointment as a Research Professor at the Stanford University Medical School I have participated in a DARPA proposal designed to study the consequences that arise in living organisms when the ULF EM field is near-totally attenuated. This proposal has since been submitted.

44. French Astronomical Society – A group from the French SAF visited the Institute on August 25th. They spent the morning with CEO Bill Diamond, CSC Director Nathalie Cabrol, and the Chair of the Exoplanet Research Group, Franck Marchis. The group listened to a presentation of the Institute; a visit of the Institute HQ followed, with a VR demo led by Frank Marchis and Clement Chalumeau.

45. Freund, F. ULF EM Radiation Field. Electron Capture and other Nuclear Reactions – Friedemannn participated in a 3-day workshop held at Stanford SLAC to discuss observations related to the release of radio-active radon from the Earth’s surface. As part of this workshop I presented preliminary results pertaining to the observation that the activation of positive hole charge carriers and their propagation through the rock column appears to lead to an increased emission of geo-neutrinos. These subatomic particles are released when nuclear reactions take place that generate excited nuclei, which emit thermal neutrons and neutrinos, sometimes also gammas and alpha particles. Electron capture events appear to be the trigger of these emission processes. Theoretically, electron capture events can occur when the massively delocalized wave functions associated with positive hole charge carriers collapse into the small volume of single oxygen anions in the 1– valence state, which are isoelectronic with the fluorine atom and, hence, extremely reactive and oxidizing. During the bond formation, very high electric fields can be generated over very short time periods, on the order of atoseconds, enough to overcome the nuclear forces and inject an electron into a target nucleus.

46. Gordon MK (8/28). Organized and hosted a one day meeting to develop a PDS wide strategy for PDS4 Training.

47. Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. which included the Hereditary Duke William and Duchess Stephanie, the Vice Prime Minister Etienne Schneider, Luxembourg Ambassador in the US Sylvie Lucas, representatives of the Trade and Investment Office in San Francisco Pierre Franck (Executive Director) and Sandrine Scheller (Institional Relations & Communications), and representative of Luxembourg technology industry.

Students handed out a calendar that they had made and anaglyph glasses to each of the attendees. The calendar contained 13 of the best HIRISE stereo images that they had acquired. After their presentation, the students presented their rovers that they had made during the year and discussed what they had learned from this experience. Group picture and press release will be included in the June 2017 update.

52. Gulick, VC and Glines, NH (May 31). Ginny and Natalie hosted the 9th and final visit of the 7th and 8th graders of Evergreen Middle School (Cottonwood, CA) at Ames as their teacher Mr. Dennis Mitchell is retiring.

63. Kepler Team - The KOI Table that Kepler has been working on since this beginning of last year has been made live at the NASA Exoplanet Archive. This is Kepler's last Exoplanet catalog (at least from the project) and is intended to be used to calculate exoplanet occurrence rates. It went live at NExScI on March 23, 2017. I technically led the project but it was only completed with significant help from many SETI employees: Jeff Coughlin, Chris Burke, Kelsey Hoffmann, Jessie Christiansen, Fergal Mullally* and includes or builds upon, the work from everyone who worked for Kepler in 2016 and 2017 (i.e. Joe Catanzarite, Doug Caldwell, Jeff Smith, Joe Twicken etc. to name some of the SETI folks). This has been in the works for over a year now, so it was a big milestone for the Kepler folk. We expect to complete/close the table this month. But we released it a bit before the final touches could be made so that the community could use it to for ADAP grants. We are intentionally trying to keep news from being generated on this catalog right now because we haven't completed the analysis nor the paper yet. But there are 210 new exoplanet candidates and a couple dozen new planets in multiple systems in the catalog.

We successfully tested fully autonomous sample collection with a 1 meter long robotic drill, and sample transfer via a robotic arm to Signs of Life Detector (SOLID), a life-detection instrument developed by CAB. A large portion my software development work went towards providing fault detection and recovery procedures to the robotic drill. Brian Glass wrote a blog post on the trip, which can be read here.
