Will Dr. Beatriz Villarroel’s “aligned transients” be independently replicated?

Prediction market on manifold. Market tracks: An independent, peer-reviewed replication of Dr. Beatriz Villarroel’s “aligned transients.” YES if, by 2026-12-31 (23:59 UTC), a paper accepted in a peer-reviewed journal (online-ahead-of-print / in-press counts) by a team with no overlapping authors with Villarroel/​VASCO explicitly states they replicated the core claim (found aligned multiple-transient events). NO otherwise. Independence: No shared coauthors with any Villarroel/​VASCO aligned-transients papers. Shared data, acknowledgments, or referee reports do not break independence. Notes: Methods, datasets, and statistical thresholds don’t matter for resolution—only the existence of the accepted, peer-reviewed independent paper claiming replication.
