Could a supermassive black hole binary exist in our galactic center, rather than a singlesupermassive black hole? New calculations place limits on the properties of the companion to Sgr A*, should it exist.

Four years of observations with the Gemini Planet Imager indicate that the young, directly-imaged exoplanet 51 Eridani b is on an eccentric orbit with a semimajor axis of ~11.1 AU and a period of 28 years.

The measured velocities of galactic outflows in seven star-forming galaxies at z = 5–6 are used to demonstrate that outflow velocity is physically related to the halo circular velocity over redshifts of z = 0–6.

The Outer Rim cosmological simulation, one of the largest high-resolution N-body simulations performed to date, covers a volume of (4.225 Gpc)3 and evolves more than one trillion particles.
Alonso Luna et al 2019 ApJL 887 L39
Data from Gaia DR 2 and the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) Survey has led to the discovery of seven candidate hypervelocity red clump stars in the Milky Way bulge and paved the way for more such findings.

Spitzer Space Telescope observations of 15 spiral galaxies show numerous dense cores at 8 μm that, with a possible age between 0.2 and 2 Myr, likely represent the earliest phase for most star formation in these galaxies.
