Summary
NASA astrobiologist Kopparapu and Haqq-Misra propose a framework for identifying and characterizing artifacts produced by technological civilizations, providing the theoretical underpinning for UAP-as-technosignature searches.

We develop a framework for the systematic search for artifacts of technological origin in the solar neighborhood, including anomalous objects, megastructures, and atmospheric biosignatures of technological production.
