The Ĝ Search for Extraterrestrial Civilizations with Large Energy Supplies. IV. The Signatures and Information Content of Transiting Megastructures
Jason T. Wright, Kimberly M. S. Cartier, Ming Zhao et al., 2016. The Astrophysical Journal 816(1), 17.
Sets out how artificial structures transiting a star would show in a light curve, and names KIC 8462852 among the light curves that a megastructure reading would have to be tested against.
What it's used for here
The published source of the megastructure hypothesis and what it predicts.
