Erika R. Nesvold et al 2017 ApJL 837 L6
Collisional and dynamical simulations demonstrate that the observed asymmetric morphology of HD 106906’s disk is caused by perturbations from the observed exterior companion, an 11-Jupiter-mass planet.

The brightest star in the Trapezium group, θ1 Ori C, dominates ionization of the bright inner part of the Orion Nebula, but the extended component of the nebula is primarily ionized by emission from θ2 Ori A.

The “Kepler dichotomy” for exoplanetary systems may be explained by the action of an external giant planet or stellar companion misaligned with the inner multi-planet system.

A proposal is put forward for SETIBURST, a backend that would allow the Arecibo telescope to be used for the search for signs of technological life while simultaneously performing other science applications.
N. Scoville et al 2017 ApJ 837 150
ALMA observations of the dust continuum in 700 galaxies at z = 0.3–4.5 indicate that increases in star formation at high z are due to both increased ISM masses and increased gas-to-star conversion efficiency.
Stelios Kazantzidis et al 2017 ApJL 836 L13
The combination of ram-pressure stripping and supernova winds causes tidal stirring to be an effective and prevalent mechanism for shaping the structure of dwarf galaxies within CDM cosmology.
