verification note

DOI, journal, volume, and article number verified via the Crossref API (2026-08-22 batch). Content characterization drawn from the title and from its description in Watters et al. 2026 and Doherty 2026; the paper itself was not read in full.

reliability notes

• The Earth-shadow and alignments paper targeted by the Watters critique; source of the ~107,875-object working catalog's shadow-deficit result.
• VASCO-team authorship; the paper itself acknowledges the working sample is expected to contain substantial false positives (as quoted by Watters et al. 2026, §1).
