BEACON

Methodology

Matching

Key = normalized IAU designation. 1979 XB and 1979XB are the same object. We keep each source’s raw values; no averaging.

Counts

significantDivergences — IP, Palermo, or Torino past threshold.

totalFieldDivergences — everything flagged, including distance / v_rel / date.
