A survey of brown dwarfs finds that their spin rate shows little or no evidence of rotational braking between 1-10 Myr, in contrast to low-mass stars.

The first binary near-Earth asteroid imaged, DP107, was again imaged as it passed Earth in a 2008 fly-by. Resulting estimates of the mutual orbit, component masses, and spin periods are reported.

Extremely faint X-ray pulsations are observed in a millisecond pulsar/LMXB transition object, providing clues about the nature of accretion flows onto neutron stars during quiescent states.

This is the final release of data from the third generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. SDSS has now obtained over 5 million spectra of galaxies, quasars and stars.

An extremely low-density planet has been discovered orbiting a G-dwarf star with super-solar metallicity, suggesting that metal-poor environments are not necessary to create low-density exoplanets.

Does the Sun’s diameter vary as a function of time, and is it related to solar activity? Measurements taken during the rising phase of the current solar cycle suggest the answer is “no”.
