Combining data from multiple sources, astronomers show that the stellar energy feedback from the OB association LH15 is powerful enough to have created the surrounding supergiant shell.

A dedicated telescopic search for potentially hazardous asteroids in the Taurid swarm yielded no detections, suggesting that there are no more than 9–14 objects with diameters larger than 100 meters in the swarm.

Probabilistic modeling shows that perturbations from dark subhalos can’t account for the Gaia “snail,” a spiral feature in the vertical phase-space distribution in the solar neighborhood.

The kinematics of stars in the central region of the massive elliptical galaxy Holmberg 15A reveal the galaxy’s central supermassive black hole to be one of the most massive in the local universe.

Using JWST, researchers have detected two candidate galaxies at redshifts of 15.7 < z < 16.4 — galaxies that may be the ultraviolet-bright precursors to other bright galaxies spotted at slightly lower redshifts.

Thermal infrared observations from the Very Large Telescope yield an upper limit of 17 meters for the diameter of the asteroid 1998 KY26, which Hayabusa2 will reach in 2031.
