TESS has discovered a multi-planet system of up to five planets around the dwarf star TOI-125, providing an opportunity to study planets of similar size while controlling for age and environment.

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.
