Gaia-based stellar data remove two-error duration conflicts for seven of nine matched Kepler candidates
We test whether ten long-duration leads from a fixed Kepler DR25 screen retain a conflict with circular transits when we use Gaia-based stellar masses and radii. Nine stars have rows in the Berger et al. 2020 catalog. Seven of these nine lose the conflict within favorable two-error input boxes. KOI-3486.01 and KOI-5329.01 retain duration ratios of at least 1.087 and 1.105. Only KOI-5329.01 remains above one at three errors, by 0.98 percent. Exact central apastron transit examples can reproduce both durations. A published nearby source leaves blending open for KOI-3486. These tests do not measure eccentricity or confirm planets. The boxes are sensitivity tests, not confidence intervals. We provide frozen catalog records, source hashes, code, and a figure. No new planet or unexplained signal is established.
