PATENT PENDING — USPTO Application No. 19/640,364
This manifest organizes public-domain astronomical archive data for application of the locked
three-layer Kact,observed composite law and the chunked-data pixel-κ algorithm.
Purpose. The pixel-level execution of κpred(x,y) = Kact,observed(x,y) · κbaryonic(x,y) for the Bullet Cluster requires five categories of input data: (1) observed lensing convergence κobserved(x,y) maps; (2) baryonic surface mass density Σbaryonic(x,y) components (X-ray plasma + stellar mass + ICL); (3) lensing geometry parameters (zL, zS, DL, DS, DLS); (4) WCS pixel registration headers; (5) noise / uncertainty maps for residual significance. This manifest provides for each category: the canonical published archive DOI or URL, the specific observation IDs, the access procedure, and (where retrieval was possible in-session) the file delivered into this folder. The SL multiple-image catalog from Cha et al. 2025 is already retrieved into this folder as Exhibit 1.

§1. Locked Framework Input Equations (recap)

K_act,internal(g_bar) = max(1, sqrt(g_critical / g_bar)) g_critical = c * H0 / (2 * omega_C1) = 1.042e-10 m/s^2 Lambda(g_bar) = 1 / [1 + (K_act,internal(g_bar) - 1) * 3 / (4 * phi^3 * Eidolon)] K_act,observed(x,y) = K_act,internal(Lambda(x,y)) * F_env(eps_ext, eta_tid) * F_ML(Delta_ML)^-1 kappa_baryonic(x,y) = Sigma_baryonic(x,y) / Sigma_crit_lens kappa_pred(x,y) = K_act,observed(x,y) * kappa_baryonic(x,y) Sigma_crit_lens = c^2 * D_S / (4 * pi * G * D_L * D_LS) g_bar(x,y) ~= 2 * pi * G * Sigma_baryonic(x,y)

§4. Dataset 3 — Baryonic Component A: X-Ray Plasma (Chandra)

STATUS: PUBLIC ARCHIVE — Chandra Data Collection DOI resolved.

4.3 Retrieval Procedure

Chandra public data requires the CIAO software toolkit (Chandra Interactive Analysis of Observations) for reduction. Public reprocessed level-2 event files are available via ChaSeR.

# Via CIAO (preferred for proper exposure-corrected images) # Install CIAO: https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/ciao/ download_chandra_obsid 3184,4984,4985,4986,5355,5356,5357,5358,5361 # Combined exposure-corrected image (per ObsID, then merge): chandra_repro indir=obs_3184 outdir=obs_3184_reprocessed fluximage obs_3184_reprocessed/acisf03184_repro_evt2.fits bin=2 \ bands=csc psfecf=0.9 outroot=obs_3184 # Merge all ObsIDs to single exposure-corrected map (the canonical Σ_X-ray): merge_obs "obs_*_repro_evt2.fits" outroot=bullet_merged bands=csc \ psfecf=0.9 binsize=2

4.4 Direct Browser-Based Retrieval (no CIAO)

From the ChaSeR query URL above, select each ObsID and request "Retrieve By ObsID" → primary + secondary tarballs. Each tarball is typically 100-500 MB; level-2 event files (.evt2.fits) and exposure maps (.expmap) are sufficient inputs for surface-brightness reconstruction.

§12. Action Items Summary

  1. Immediate (no external retrieval needed): the SL catalog (§2) is delivered.
  2. Single astroquery script: retrieves all JWST + HST imaging needed for stellar mass, ICL, and ancillary lensing reconstruction (§3.2).
  3. Single CIAO command: retrieves all 9 Chandra ObsIDs comprising the canonical 500 ks dataset (§4.3).
  4. One astropy cosmology snippet: computes Σcrit_lens for all relevant source redshifts (§7).
  5. One reproject call per FITS comparison: aligns all maps to a single WCS grid (§8).
  6. One pipeline script: runs the chunked pixel-κ computation end-to-end (§10).

The data are entirely public-archive. No proprietary access required. The infrastructure for retrieval (astroquery, CIAO, reproject, astropy) is open-source Python. Once the FITS products are local, the pixel-κ algorithm executes against them per the §10 pipeline.

§13. Closure Status

This manifest closes joint frontier item 5 (pixel-κ Bullet Cluster chunked-data algorithm) for the data-access dimension. Every dataset Alfred named in his "REMAINING DATASETS NEEDED" message is identified with a canonical DOI, an archive URL, and an executable retrieval recipe. The SL multiple-image catalog is delivered in-package.

What remains is execution: running the retrieval recipes, applying the chunked-data algorithm, and producing the κresidual(x,y) map. The mathematical framework is complete; the operational protocols are specified; the data sources are named.
