NEOWISE

Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer NEOWISE reactivation. Path-C applies ecliptic-pole mask (|b_ecl|<80 deg), retaining 419/436 sources (96.1%). Mask injection-recovery: 100% specificity and sensitivity.

Key Findings
Results that define how this survey should be used in the paper set.
  • 01419 canonical anomalies (top-1% of 43.5K sources); 419/436 pre-mask candidates retained after |b_ecl|<80 deg cut (96.1%)
  • 022.6x polar-cap excess vs uniform null eliminated by mask
  • 03Top anomaly at Dec=80° (high galactic latitude — real, not systematic)
  • 04Variability features: Stetson J, chi-squared, amplitude
