Four stellar occultations by (486958) Arrokoth, the flyby target of the New Horizons extended mission, more precisely constrain its shape and position and find no presence of rings or other debris around it.
Yi-Han Wang et al 2020 ApJL 891 L14
Simulations show that giant planets born around a typical Sun-like star could be exchanged during a dynamical interaction with a flyby low-mass star, resulting in a tight orbit of the planet around the low-mass star.
Scott G. Carlsten et al 2020 ApJ 891 144
An extensive search for dwarf satellite galaxies around 10 primary host galaxies in the Local Volume (<12 Mpc) using archival CFHT/MegaCam imaging data revealed 155 candidates, of which 93 are new.
E. Altamura et al 2020 AJ 159 122
Two quasars have been serendipitously discovered just 76 kpc apart; they are confirmed to lie at the same redshift and appear to represent a small-separation physical quasar binary.
