Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that neutron stars bend the path of passing light through gravitational lensing?

Yes. A peer-reviewed paper states that gravitational light bending by compact stars, including highly compact rotating neutron stars, is an important astrophysical phenomenon. General references on gravitational lensing support the mechanism, though one model paper claims lensing by compact objects disappears at long distance.
