Spitzer observations show that the planet and star in HAT-P-2’s eccentric system interact. Measured pulsations of the star appear to be induced by the tidal pull of the planet’s orbit.

Voyager 2 images of Uranus’s α and β rings show patterns that may be wakes from small moonlets orbiting exterior to the rings. The moonlets’ estimated sizes are too small to resolve in the images, however.

An X-ray catalog of over 1000 sources is presented for the ~7 million second exposure of the Chandra Deep Field-South, which covers a total area of 484.2 square arcmin at unprecedented X-ray sensitivity.

Deep Chandra X-ray observations of the merging galaxy cluster A520 reveal a long trail of dense clumps, possibly the fragments of a cool core stripped from the infalling subcluster by ram pressure.

A study of 20,000 Kepler stars shows that exoplanets with orbital periods of <10 days are preferentially found around metal-rich stars. The largest host metallicity difference is seen for hot, rocky planets.

Changing an ultra high energy cosmic ray’s rigidity from a given source is shown to change the expected arrival direction, as does motion of the solar system through the interstellar medium.
