UX Monocerotis as a W Serpentis binary
Bibliographic record
Abstract
\n Using our new photometric and spectroscopic observations as well as all available\n published data, we present a new interpretation of the properties of the peculiar\n emission-line binary UX Mon. We conclude that this binary is in a rare phase of fast mass\n transfer between the binary components prior to the mass ratio reversal. We firmly\n establish that the orbital period is secularly decreasing at a rate of\n Ṗ = −0.260 s per year. From several lines of reasoning, we show that\n the mass ratio of the component losing mass to the mass-gaining\n component q must be larger than 1 and find our most probable value to\n be q = 1.15 ± 0.1. The BINSYN suite of programs and the steepest descent\n method were used to perform the final modeling. We modeled the star as a W Ser star with a\n thick disk around its primary. Although the remaining uncertainties in some of the basic\n physical elements describing the system in our model are not negligible, the model is in\n fair agreement with available observations. Only the nature of the light variations\n outside the primary eclipse remains unexplained. \n

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
