With the aim of studying magnetic effects in time-distance helioseismology, we use the first-order Born approximation to compute the scattering of acoustic plane waves by a magnetic cylinder embedded in a uniform medium. ... We also show that, for arbitrary magnetic field strength, the Born approximation is not valid in the limit where the radius of the magnetic cylinder tends to zero.

Guest Editorial , May 2006 . Transforming SETI to METI . ... Those who propose, or oppose, sending Messages to Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (METI) must contemplate the Hamlet-like question: "To send or not to send?" The science known as SETI deals with searching for messages from aliens. ... We therefore propose that, for solution to the various current METI problems, we consider transforming the familiar SETI search space to a METI search space. ... Where to search? ... When to search? ...
