By calculating general relativistic corrections, researchers show that the gravitational wave strain from a rotating neutron star with a mountain is 12% greater than when relativity is not taken into account.

Kiladze, a structure on the surface of Pluto that was first noted for its water-ice-dominated composition, may be the caldera of a cryovolcano; the region shares certain properties with other cryovolcanoes on Pluto.

Using a telescope suited to the study of crowded star fields, researchers have produced a 10,971,906-object catalog of stars toward the Small Magellanic Cloud.

The angular momentum of inflowing gas appears to be correlated with the strength of an active black hole’s jet, simulations show, and this may be consistent with the behavior of the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole.

A clever use of observations from the Solar Mass Ejection Imager successfully recovered the 2005 and 2006 eclipses of γ Persei when the binary system was too close to the Sun to be seen with other facilities.

Simulations reveal potential continuous, stochastic, or quasi-periodic high-energy electromagnetic signals of supermassive black hole binaries in galactic centers.
