    Abstract

    I used a wide-field, low-frequency telescope to search for signals from molecules, atoms, and exo-planets, surveying the Galactic Centre and Orion to detect molecules for the first time below 700MHz. In collaboration, I used the same data to set upper limits on the signal strength of extraterrestrial civilisations. Utilising surveys at infrared and radio wavelengths, I found evidence that high-mass stars can form in isolation.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
