Editing Delta Pavonis (section)

==SETI==
Delta Pavonis has been identified by Maggie Turnbull and [[Jill Tarter]] of the [[SETI Institute]] as the "Best [[SETI]] target" among the  100 closest [[G-type star]]s. Properties in its favor include a high metallicity, minimal level of [[stellar magnetic field|magnetic activity]], low rotation rate, and kinematic membership in the [[thin disk population]] of the [[Milky Way]]. [[Gas giant]]s orbiting in, near, or through a star's [[habitable zone]] may destabilize the orbits of terrestrial planets in that zone; the lack of detected [[radial velocity]] variation suggests that there are no such gas giants orbiting Delta Pavonis. However, observation has detected no artificial radio sources.<ref name=apj149_2/> Delta Pavonis, a close [[Photometry (astronomy)|photometric]] match to the Sun, is the nearest [[solar analog]] that is not a member of a binary or multiple [[star system]].<ref name=Mello/>
