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.

A new catalog of 57 globular clusters — built from an early release of HST Treasury survey data — is intended for use in identifying stars in different stellar populations, in particular for spectroscopic follow-up.

Inclined water maser disks can be identified by searching for narrow masers near the systemic velocity that appear to emit from the position of the central black hole that they orbit.

Global N-body simulations of self-gravitating collisional particle rings indicate that the Centaur Chariklo must be even denser than the material of its two rings, which would generate wakes in its inner ring.

A new search approach for large spectrum data sets found 59 new extremely metal-poor stars, 11 new carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars, and 2 new cataclysmic variable stars in the SDSS DR10 data set.
F. Moreno et al 2017 ApJL 837 L3
Deep-imaging observations, orbital dynamics, and dust-tail model analyses of the double-component asteroid P/2016 J1 reveal that it likely split into two near its previous perihelion passage ~2300 days ago.
