A paper describing initial results from the research has been submitted for publication in Acta Astronautica, the journal of the International Academy of Astronautics. A preprint is available.

You can access the full dataset used in the analysis in the Breakthrough Listen Open Data Archive (technical and programming skills required). A tutorial on the software used in the analysis is available.
