Consistent monitoring of the solar chromosphere during 1915–1985 from the Mount Wilson Observatory shows that the global chromospheric dynamics have not significantly changed over this range of 70 years.

No significant neutrino coincidence is seen in IceCube Neutrino Observatory data during the first two observing runs of LIGO-Virgo, setting upper limits on the neutrino emission from the 11 compact mergers observed.

A 23-year retrospective analysis of software citation practices in astronomy was developed to identify past practices and trends that prevent software citations from benefiting software authors.

The disks of four jellyfish galaxies being tidally stripped of their gas by the intergalactic medium show molecular gas contents 4–5 times higher than normal galaxies of similar masses and very low star-formation efficiency.
Rui Guo et al 2020 ApJ 897 162
Analysis of local massive red spiral galaxies show signs of past mergers and suggest that their bulges formed within a short timescale before redshifts of z ~ 1–2 and were quenched via a fast mode, similar to ellipticals.

Modelling shows that an impact between Pluto’s companion Charon and a body of 30–100 km could have produced a disk of debris that later formed into the smaller satellites of Pluto and Charon.
