  • At the south pole of Mars, there are water ice and liquid water under a permanent carbon dioxide ice cap.

    “At the south pole of the mars, there are water ice and liquid water under permanent carbon dioxide ice cap. 86”

    From Energy system and resource utilization in space: A state-of-the-art review (2024) · cites this paper as [86]

    The paper reports radar evidence for liquid water beneath the South Polar Layered Deposits (p. 1), and the Fig. 2 caption describes the overlying material as water ice with admixed dust (p. 4). Our copy does not identify a permanent carbon-dioxide ice cap above it, so that part of the claim is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
