Fresh stellar references expose catalogue-limited field recovery
5 Oct 2026 · embeddings
Do actual field references validate the frozen plane candidates and cloud associations?
Two unfiltered padded Gaia queries and one inner-field SPICY query after score freeze; native epoch motion,1/3/5arcsec alternatives and unique quality proxies, all-requested field and margin denominators.
Three bounded requests; independent8,695-primitive/767-null replay. Separate tangent/haversine review reconstructs52,438 admissions,871 reference audits,61 unchanged source records,50 candidates and all quality/ambiguity/radius/recovery denominators.
868 Gaia and3YSO references,302,196bytes.3/4 qualifying unique Gaia counterparts selected, but only3/16 quality references insideWISEfields recovered; padded-query3/63 kept separate. One in-field YSO has noWISEalternative at1/3/5arcsec (0/1field,0/3requested). No qualifying Gaia/dust joint distance records. Candidate collection stays3,225.
Next: Test updated/deeper catalogue and bounded native image evidence for missing stellar/YSO inputs without widening acceptance post hoc. Learn and calibrate compatible stellar/dust retrieval separately from fresh validation; preserve full denominators and temporal birth-versus-variability refinement.
No independent negative truth or new precision estimate. Optical/infrared selection functions differ; limited source catalogue is not detector completeness.
