Gaia DR2 data is used to identify 26 candidate runaway stars that likely experienced dynamical ejection from unstable young triple systems or some other close three-body encounter in the last 1 Myr.

The host galaxy of FRB 121102 is consistent with those of long gamma-ray bursts and superluminous supernovae, but host galaxy candidates of other nearby fast radio bursts are not — suggesting that FRB hosts are very diverse.

The first deep hard X-ray (E > 10 keV) survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud, conducted with NuSTAR, detected 10 sources above a 3σ significance level and obtained upper limits on an additional 40 sources.

Four years of continuous SDO EVE observations are evaluated to compile James’s EVE Dimming Index (JEDI), a catalog of coronal dimming events — temporary voids created when coronal mass ejections depart from the Sun.

Two decades of radial velocity observations are used to detect a planet of at least 3 Jupiter masses on a highly eccentric (e ~ 0.84) orbit with a period of ~74 years around the star HD 120066.

TESS’s first discovery of a tidal disruption event (TDE), ASASSN-19bt, includes detailed observations from before its rise. The combined data set for ASASSN-19bt is the most detailed pre-peak data set for any TDE.
