An approximation to determine the source of the WOW! Signal

Alberto Caballero, 2022. International Journal of Astrobiology.

Samples 66 G and K stars in the Wow! region from the Gaia archive and names one, 2MASS 19281982−2640123, as the best Sun-like candidate if the signal came from a star system like ours. IJA 21, 129–136.
