NEOWISE
Legacy/superseded pipeline record retained for methodology and archive context. Historical candidate counts and classifications are unreconciled, are not current discovery results, and do not provide evidence for a bounce.
Key findings
01 Historical, unreconciled pipeline output — 419 canonical anomalies (top-1% of 43.5K sources); 419/436 pre-mask candidates retained after |b_ecl|<80 deg cut (96.1%)
02 Historical, unreconciled pipeline output — 2.6x polar-cap excess vs uniform null eliminated by mask
03 Historical, unreconciled pipeline output — Top anomaly at Dec=80° (high galactic latitude — real, not systematic)
04 Historical, unreconciled pipeline output — Variability features: Stetson J, chi-squared, amplitude
