Archival XMM-Newton observations of the diffuse X-ray emission from the star-forming region LMC-N 57 in the Large Magellanic Cloud unveils the powerful effect of massive stars in destroying their nurseries.
Omar López-Cruz et al 2019 ApJL 886 L2
Investigation of the star formation histories of galaxies in the Seyfert’s Sextet suggests that the galaxies have already crossed once, consuming most of their gas, and are now interacting for a second time.

New analysis suggests we will discover an estimated 259 Venus analogs by the end of the TESS primary mission, allowing us to explore terrestrial planets in potential runaway greenhouse scenarios.

Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations suggest that gas fragmentation produces less massive black hole seeds in the context of direct collapse; however, they are still prone to merge.

The first evidence has been found of molecular gas in two atomic hydrogen (H i) clouds associated with gas outflowing from the Small Magellanic Cloud, likely due to relatively weak starburst-driven winds.

Data from Gaia Data Release 2 indicates that hot-Jupiter hosts are, on average, younger than field stars — suggesting that tidal interactions cause hot Jupiters to inspiral while their host stars are on the main sequence.
