VLBI observations indicate that the brightness temperature increases with increasing distance on sub-parsec scales in compact radio jets, suggesting that the jets are accelerated in these sub-parsec regions.

A statistical analysis of the 51,406 stars in the Kepler field spectroscopically observed with LAMOST found 106 candidate metal-poor stars, 9 candidate very metal-poor stars, and 18 candidate high-velocity stars.

Simulations of galactic outflows from supernova explosions demonstrate that inclusion of cosmic-ray physics changes the source of pressure that provides the driving force for the outflows.

Herschel Space Observatory far-IR observations of 31 star systems in nearby young moving groups found 6 stars with possible debris disks, with several of them similar to the disk of the ancient solar system.

The IAU recommends nominal conversion constants for selected solar and planetary properties (e.g. solar radius, luminosity, and mass, or Jupiter’s radius) in order to standardize regerence values.

The stellar kinematics of Dragonfly 44, one of the largest Coma ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs), reveal a dark matter fraction of 98%, adding to recent evidence that UDGs are “failed” galaxies.
