Now that its primary mission is concluded, the New Horizons spacecraft’s LORRI imager could be used to observe microlensing events in the galactic bulge, possibly providing constraints on lens properties.

OGLE-UCXB-01, a 12.8 minute variable object located in the galactic bulge globular cluster Djorg 2, is shown to be a likely ultracompact X-ray binary system exhibiting a fast period decrease as its orbit decays.

The GD-1 stellar stream has a secondary diffuse, extended stellar component around it, supporting the idea that its progenitor was originally formed outside of the Milky Way in a now defunct dark satellite galaxy.

By combining 5-day observations of the Crab pulsar made with three on-board telescopes, the position and velocity of the Insight-HXMT are pinpointed to within 10 km and 10 m/s, respectively.

Tom A. Nordheim et al 2019 ApJL 881 L29

Particle physics simulations suggest that Europa is partially shielded from galactic cosmic rays by the Jovian magnetosphere, and the radiation dose due to these particles is small at Europa’s surface.

Detailed analysis of the orbital stability of the HD 181433 planetary system suggest previous measurements of its orbital properties may be incorrect; a different system architecture is necessary for it to be stable.
