The unWISE Catalog, which contains the positions and fluxes of ~2 billion objects observed by WISE over the full sky, improves on the AllWISE catalog with deeper imaging and improved modeling of crowded regions.

VLBI observations of the Seyfert type 2 galaxy KISSR 434 reveal a long (~500 light-years) jet that is curved, possibly due to precession rather than ram-pressure bending from a rotating interstellar medium.

Semianalytic estimates predict 241 single-transit events caused by planets will be detectable in TESS postage-stamp images at a signal-to-noise ratio of S/N ≥ 7.3, and at least 977 more will be visible in the full frame images.

The organic haze enshrouding Titan follows a seasonal cycle both due to Saturn’s orbital eccentricity and its 27° obliquity; simulations suggest the cycle is amplified by a factor of 2 with production as a function of solar UV.

James R. A. Davenport et al 2019 ApJ 871 241

Analysis of a sample of 347 Kepler flare stars shows that flare activity decreases for all low-mass stars as they spin down, and thus with age.

Twelve years after first light, SDSS is putting out its 15th data release — which includes 4,824 Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA) data cubes, as well as new data analysis and visualization products.
