Authorship and provenance¶

Biswajit Jana is the project owner and credited author. He proposed the investigation, requested the scientific project and public research artifacts, and directs its development.

OpenAI Codex assisted with literature retrieval, code implementation, numerical experiments, testing, plots, and report drafting. AI assistance is disclosed rather than credited as a human coauthor. The owner should review and take responsibility for scientific claims before any journal submission.

ESA and the Planck Collaboration produced the observations and official derived data products. NASA/IPAC IRSA distributes the copies downloaded here. Neither the owner nor the assistant collected these measurements. Cited researchers retain credit for their statistics, arguments, and theoretical proposals.
