Analysis of two coronal mass ejections launched successively from the Sun on 2013 October 25 provides a better understanding of their subsequent collision 37 solar radii away from the Sun.

New observations of the Kepler-20 solar system characterize the 1.8 Earth-radius Kepler-20b as the most massive planet with a likely rocky composition found, and reveal a sixth planet that doesn’t transit.

NASA’s upcoming Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission is predicted to detect solar-like oscillations in several hundred exoplanet host stars, including both solar-type and red-giant stars.

A transient gamma-ray counterpart was found with Swift for the fast radio burst FRB 131104 — but the energy and timescale of the gamma-ray emission are inconsistent with most current models for FRBs.

A catalog of the physical properties of ~700,000 galaxies at z < 0.3 is used to argue that a comparison of star formation rates (SFRs) is less informative and physically motivated than one of specific SFRs.

Simulations show that the collisions of a tidal disruption stream with itself can contribute significant optical and ultraviolet light to the flares produced by tidal disruption events, explaining much of the emission.
