A team has created a new, independent vetting pipeline to discover planets in Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite data that might otherwise be missed, bolstering the numbers of known close-in giant exoplanets.

Though simulations of the convective–radiative boundary within a star have different outcomes on brief timescales when different criteria are implemented, they reach the same state over long timescales.

Among compact objects, white dwarfs are the likeliest source of gravitational microlensing events in globular clusters, which are good places to search for these events, especially if they are densely packed.

The first quantitative maps of iron oxide and other quantities in the Moon’s polar regions reveal features like small young craters in fine detail, giving a new view of the proposed Artemis III landing site.

The largest stellar spectroscopic survey of nearby galaxy M33 finds trends in stellar age and velocity that are dissimilar to those seen in the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies.

Thanks to new observations from multiple facilities, Scutum X-1 has been reclassified as an intermediate-mass system containing a Mira variable star rather than an evolved high-mass star.
