New imaging of a small, fan-shaped reflection nebula in NGC 1333 suggest that the nebula’s fluctuating brightness is due to varying incident radiation emanating from HBC 340, the protostar illuminating it.

Disk thicknesses were measured in a sample of ~100 edge-on Hubble Frontier Field galaxies with bulges. The scale heights measured were proportional to galactic mass.

Statistical analysis of all published HST/WFC3 transit spectra for 1.1–1.65 μm water vapor absorption suggest that cloud condensation in exoplanet atmospheres may decrease with increasing temperature.

Early results of the “Satellites Around Galactic Analogs” (SAGA) Survey reveal 25 new satellite galaxies around systems analogous to the Milky Way galaxy, most of which are star-forming.

In the new catalog of sources detected at >10 GeV by Fermi LAT in the first 7 years of data using the Pass 8 event-level analysis, 79% are associated with extragalactic counterparts at other wavelengths.

12 successful occulations by Chariklo, observed between 2014 and 2016, are used to provide profiles (physical width, opacity, edge structure) for this asteroid-like body’s rings.
