VERITAS detection of the very-high-energy gamma-ray outburst from quasar PKS 1441+25: the emission region must be located thousands of Schwarzschild radii away from the black hole.

226 young stellar objects were catalogued in the Cygnus-X DR15 region to study the interaction of young stellar populations with massive molecular cloud complexes.

Measurements of four nearby disk galaxies show that they have ~3x less stellar angular momentum than typical local spiral galaxies of the same mass — probably the main cause of their low stability.

Heavily obscured AGN are found to be twice as likely to be hosted by late-type galaxies relative to unobscured AGN, and three times as likely to exhibit signatures of mergers or interactions.

Simulations with MESA demonstrate that mass loss through Roche-lobe overflow could transform a hot Jupiter into a lower-mass planet (such as a hot Neptune or super Earth).

Preliminary properties are reported for 7956 asteroids detected in the first year of the NEOWISE Reactivation mission. 201 of these are near-Earth asteroids; the rest are Main-Belt or Mars-crossing.
