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

Is it true that planets can orbit neutron stars, as first found around the pulsar PSR B1257+12 in 1992?

Yes. Multiple independent sources confirm that planets orbit the neutron star PSR B1257+12, with the first two pulsar planets discovered in 1992 by Wolszczan and Frail. A peer-reviewed confirmation paper and reference works state this directly.
