Claim

The GJ 3090 study found no evidence of a massive outer planetary companion or a wide stellar binary companion in the searched parameter space.

Score: 0.8808 under ledger-default@0.3.0 at snapshot 27745

Main unresolved issue: 5 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:29a1d548-7737-815a-81b3-1144ed593375

Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.A quoted passage from arxiv.org was not found on the page when Galedra fetched it.

Why?

Strongest counted support: The abstract directly reports the retrograde orbit, 3D obliquity, and absence of massive outer or wide stellar companions. weight 2.000000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt explicitly reports no evidence of massive outer planetary or wide stellar binary companions.

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Unresolved.

How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

prior 0.50 → log-odds 0.000000 + 2.000000 (the counted weights) = 2.000000 → probability 0.8808

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.8022 to 0.9309, a spread of 0.1287.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

Evidence for

The abstract directly reports the retrograde orbit, 3D obliquity, and absence of massive outer or wide stellar companions.

The abstract directly reports no evidence of the specified companions.
The excerpt explicitly reports no evidence of massive outer planetary or wide stellar binary companions.

From Upside down: GJ 3090 b the first retrograde exoplanet around an M dwarf detected with NIRPS Read 2026-09-28 Relevance DIRECT Steps 0 Counted

The quoted abstract directly states the negative companion search result.

Evidence against

None.

Qualifications

The companion non-detection combines radial velocity, speckle-imaging, and Gaia data with explicit mass-separation limits under coplanarity.

From Upside down: GJ 3090 b the first retrograde exoplanet around an M dwarf detected with NIRPS Read 2026-09-29 Relevance DIRECT Steps 0 Counted

Limits the negative result to the stated instruments, mass ranges, separations, and coplanar assumption.
Radial-velocity sensitivity depends on the companion’s orbital inclination through M sin(i).

From Upside down: GJ 3090 b the first retrograde exoplanet around an M dwarf detected with NIRPS Read 2026-09-29 Relevance DIRECT Steps 0 Counted

Specifies the inclination dependence of the radial-velocity search.
The search becomes less sensitive to higher true companion masses for lower-inclination companions.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
