Abstract

An alternative search strategy implementing the method of radio technique may be considered appropriate for locating distant stars in presence of the interstellar radiation field. For the purpose we have taken into account the available data of known stars/constellations up to the recent years to find the required time of reception of the echo radio signals, if transmitted using the wavelengths corresponding to the “water holes” from the earth's station. It further investigates the probable responding number of stars due to different transmitted power.
