The highly collimated SiO jet from the V380 Ori NE star-forming region shows signs of precession of the jet axis, with a driving source that may belong to a non-coplanar binary system.

Data from Galaxy Zoo 2 shows that the fraction of low surface brightness galaxies hosting strong bars is systematically lower than that found for high surface brightness galaxies.

New imaging of a small, fan-shaped reflection nebula in NGC 1333 suggest that the nebula’s fluctuating brightness is due to varying incident radiation emanating from HBC 340, the protostar illuminating it.

Disk thicknesses were measured in a sample of ~100 edge-on Hubble Frontier Field galaxies with bulges. The scale heights measured were proportional to galactic mass.

Statistical analysis of all published HST/WFC3 transit spectra for 1.1–1.65 μm water vapor absorption suggest that cloud condensation in exoplanet atmospheres may decrease with increasing temperature.
Marla Geha et al 2017 ApJ 847 4
Early results of the “Satellites Around Galactic Analogs” (SAGA) Survey reveal 25 new satellite galaxies around systems analogous to the Milky Way galaxy, most of which are star-forming.
