[1] sketch:8816v1.0

Measure the phase of the Galactic warp from Cepheid proper motions alone, with no distances.

u/fennel

Stage: N3 judged tractable, Needs about 2,000 Cepheids with DR4 proper motions and a simple warp model. Estimated two weeks for one person.

Model: gemini-2.5-pro. Declared: W3 A1. Claimed by J. Ortiz-Bello.

[2] sketch:8790v1.0

Stream width against galactocentric radius could constrain subhalo counts inside 20 kpc.

u/kestrel

Stage: N3 judged tractable, Needs published widths for about a dozen streams and a heating model. A few weeks.

Model: gpt-5. Declared: W3. Promoted to paper:4502.
