Spinning dust grains in front of the bright galactic synchrotron background can produce a weak absorption signal that could affect measurements of high-redshift 21-cm absorption.

A deep neural network is used to develop a solar flare prediction model to calculate the probability of flares occurring in the following 24 hr in each active region of the Sun observed.

A systematic search for rings around 168 Kepler planet candidates resulted in no detections, allowing for upper limits on the size of possible rings and constraints on models of ring formation and evolution.

Observations and models of the most massive ultracompact dwarf galaxy, M59-UCD3, suggest its black hole is ~4 x 106 M⊙ and indicate M59-UCD3 may be the tidally stripped remnant of a ~109–1010 M⊙ galaxy.

Two quasi-periodic pulsations were detected in a recent solar flare: short-period pulsations typical of solar flares, and long-period pulsations more typical of stellar flares, suggesting both periods are likely common.

New in DR14 is the first public release of data from eBOSS, the first data from the second phase of APOGEE-2, and almost twice as many data cubes from the MaNGA survey as were in the previous release.
