Accretion-disk modeling plus long-term data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) of the eruptive star V582 Aur suggest this source is fading and will reach the quiescent level in ~80 yr.

Dark vortices on Neptune are explored over 25 years of HST data, demonstrating that dark spots have average occurrence rates of one dark spot every 4–6 years, and each spot typically has a lifetime of 1–6 years.

The TESS Habitable Zone Stars Catalog is a list of 1,822 bright nearby stars with reliable distances from Gaia DR2, around which NASA’s TESS mission can detect transiting planets that receive Earth-like irradiation.

A comparative study of the 2012 July and 2017 July solar eruptions suggests that superstorms are “perfect storms” in nature, i.e., a combination of circumstances results in an event of an unusual magnitude.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will begin regular survey operations by 2022 and, over the nominal 10 years of observations, will produce 32 trillion observations of 20 billion galaxies and a similar number of stars.

A radial-velocity study is conducted for three systems (Kepler-25, -65, and -68) with similar architectures: a giant-planet companion exterior to a compact, multiply transiting system of sub-Neptune planets.
