Can JWST Follow Up on Gravitational-Wave Detections?
If LIGO finds gravitational waves, could JWST be used in the future to follow up on detections of some compact-object mergers?

Images of two powerful solar prominence eruptions have helped astronomers model how these eruptions travel away from the Sun.
Is the planet Kepler-454b rocky, like a large Earth? Or gaseous, like a small Neptune? A recent study finds out.
The Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has received an upgrade that increased its sensitivity by a whopping 40% — and nobody had to travel to space to make it happen.
Cassini data spanning a decade show how Titan’s surface temperatures evolve as its seasons change.
The recent discovery of a distant X-ray jet has interesting implications for our understanding of how these jets, powered by the enormous black holes at the centers of galaxies, emit light.
The Friends of Hot Jupiters survey has discovered that many more hot Jupiters may have companions than we originally believed.

Four stars, recently identified as possibly belonging to the Ophiuchus stellar stream orbiting our galaxy, may help explain the stream’s mysterious past.
The unexpected behavior of some Kuiper belt objects could be explained by the presence of a distant, planet-sized object yet undetected in our solar system.
We now have a spectacular new view of the very faint spiral galaxy Malin 1, located roughly 1.2 billion light-years away.
Recent observations of TW Hydrae, a star just 176 light-years away, have confirmed the existence of a gap within the disk surrounding it. Could this be a sign of an orbiting planet?
