摘要：

F型恒星KIC 8462852最近被确认为SETI（搜寻地外文明）观测的特殊目标。我们描述了一种光学SETI的分析方法，我们用它来分析2009年至2015年期间VERITAS伽马射线天文台对KIC 8462852进行的9个小时的偶然档案观测。没有证据表明脉冲光学信标，在地球上的脉冲强度约为1光子每m^2以上，found.We还讨论了成像大气切伦科夫望远镜阵列在寻找极短的持续时间的光学瞬变一般的潜在用途。

英文摘要：

The F-type star KIC 8462852 has recently been identified as an exceptional target for SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) observations. We describe an analysis methodology for optical SETI, which we have used to analyse nine hours of serendipitous archival observations of KIC 8462852 made with the VERITAS gamma-ray observatory between 2009 and 2015. No evidence of pulsed optical beacons, above a pulse intensity at the Earth of approximately 1 photon per m^2, is found. We also discuss the potential use of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope arrays in searching for extremely short duration optical transients in general.
