| The study used 19 astrometric positions of S301 that outlined an ellipse on the sky and yielded a consistent orbit. | QUANTITATIVE | Supported | 0.8808 | 1 of 4 | 128 |
| The fitted S301 orbit has eccentricity about 0.982–0.983 and a pericentre distance of approximately 136–142 Schwarzschild radii. | QUANTITATIVE | Supported | 0.8808 | 1 of 4 | 118 |
| The star S301 near Sagittarius A* has an 8.7-year orbit and reaches a peak orbital speed of about 25,000 kilometres per second. | QUANTITATIVE | Supported | 0.9820 | 1 of 4 | 110 |
