The Dark Energy Survey internal year-one cosmology data set, Y1A1 GOLD, is the largest photometric data set at its depth to date, enabling precise measurements of cosmic acceleration at z <~ 1.

Further observations of a faint star located 2 arcsec from KIC 8462852 show that the two stars cannot be bound, thus refuting the suggestion that the variability of Boyajian’s star is explained by a binary system.

10 dusty star-forming galaxies are found in the core of an extreme protocluster of galaxies in the early universe. Their star formation rate is considerably higher than those seen before in any z > 4 protocluster.

K2 observations of a main-sequence binary system in the old open cluster M67 suggest that this was once a primordial triple system. Two of the stars in the system merged ~1 Gyr ago, producing the unusual binary.

14 years of Chandra data are used to create an updated catalog of X-ray point sources in the inner 500” (~20 pc) of our galactic center, including 3,619 sources, ~1,500 of which are new.

Stars hosting Jupiter analogs have an average metallicity close to solar, in contrast to their counterparts hosting hot Jupiters and eccentric cool Jupiters, which have super-solar metallicities.
