Geometry of the LTT 3780 planetary system at the time of our radio technosignature observations. The left panel shows the sky-plane (X–Y) view as seen from Earth, while the right panel shows the top-down (X–Z) view of the system. The orbits of planets b (blue) and c (green) are shown relative to the host star (yellow). Our observations from the ATA, mentioned in Table 1 on 2025 November 5th, were timed to coincide with a planet–planet occultation (PPO), when planet b passes behind planet c along the line of sight, providing a unique configuration to search for radio technosignatures during mutual planetary alignment.
