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.

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.

Measurements of abundances in dwarf-galaxy satellites of the Milky Way suggest that the dominant type of supernova Ia in ancient dwarf galaxies is the explosion of a sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf.

New photometric and spectroscopic data of main-belt asteroid (6478) Gault favor a compositional affinity between Gault and asteroid (25) Phocaea and rule out a compositional link with the Tamara family.

Gravitational scattering among planets in a system, combined with a close flyby of another star, may generate a population of “Oort” exoplanets that orbit at wide distances of 100 to 5,000 AU.
