Photochemically generated hazes and equilibrium condensate clouds can be distinguished in observations of exoplanet atmospheres based on the transmission spectra measured at the planet limbs.

H. Boyce et al 2017 ApJ 846 14

The dynamics of the Large Magellanic Cloud are analyzed to arrive at a 3-sigma upper limit of 10^7.1 solar masses for the mass of the potential black hole in the LMC’s center.

Weida Hu et al 2017 ApJL 845 L16

The Magellan telescope in Chile has been used to spectroscopically confirm nine narrowband-selected Lyman-alpha-emitting galaxies located at z ≥ 7, roughly tripling the sample size.

Trent J. Dupuy and Michael C. Liu 2017 ApJS 231 15

A decade of astrometric monitoring of 31 ultracool binaries with component spectral types M7–T5 have allowed the precise determination of 38 individual masses spanning 30–115 Jupiter masses.
