This is most likely the Nasa announcement. Remember folks! Science doesn't happen in a vacuum.

The scientific papers that outline this analysis was already available in astronomy circles - the Nasa event is the press conference letting the bigger community know.

It's not like it's a secret! All the measurements were already made by the Orbitor and is presumably analysed by researchers around the world prior to this unveiling.

And I assume they publish in peer-reviewed journals, so there've been a few others with the actual manuscript.
