3D GRMHD simulations of accreting black holes demonstrate significant observational differences between cases in which the funnel of an active galaxy’s jet is empty and cases where it is filled with plasma.

The inclination between the orbital angular momentum of the GW170817 binary and the line of sight is constrained to 18° ± 8° via the latest gravitational-wave, redshift, and Hubble-constant measurements.

Simulations show it’s possible to form mass-transferring black-hole binaries with main-sequence, giant, and white-dwarf companions in globular clusters spanning a large range in present-day properties.

The Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS), a survey of 660 deg2, has produced the largest submillimeter images that have been made of the extragalactic sky.

Simulations of the evolution of the proposed ring system around the Centaur 2060 Chiron suggest that it has remained intact since Chiron’s injection into the Centaur region, likely within the past ~8.5 Myr.

Four high-latitude tethered prominences were observed in white light during the total solar eclipses of 2012 and 2013, each forming the core of a different type of coronal mass ejection as they evolved.
