Hello? Hello? Virgo calling

I love this idea. In short, modulating the variations in Cepheid luminosity could serve as an extra-galactic telegraph. Best line from the abstract: "One can construct many scenarios wherein it would be desirable for such a civilization of star ticklers to transmit data to anyone else within viewing range."

Damn, I want to read science fiction about star ticklers.

Now that's a cool idea.

I shall have to work on some fiction around it for your delectation (and hopefully that of anyone who publishes it!).

Meanwhile, I have some non-star-ticklers hard astronomical SF that you can read if you want... Let me know by email if you do!

I'm not sure I have a current email address for you, but I'd love to have a look at that SF you mention.

I'm at myles dot corcoran AT gmail dot com
