 More recently, in May 2017, Marcy was involved in studies related to laser light emissions from stars, as a way of detecting technology-related signals from an alien civilization.The study included Tabby's Star (KIC 8462852), an oddly dimming star in which its unusual starlight fluctuations may be the result of interference by an artificial megastructure, such as a Dyson swarm, made by such a civilization.No evidence was found for technology-related signals from Tabby's Star in the studies.
