Surface flux transport simulations for solar Cycle 24 suggest the dipole moment in 2020 will be comparable to that at the end of Cycle 23. This argues that Cycle 25 may be moderate, like Cycle 24.

New observations and analysis are presented for the planet orbiting HD 20782 with an eccentricity of 0.96. Photometric data suggests evidence of reflected light from the planet’s atmosphere.

Observations of SOHO-detected comet 322P from the ground and from Spitzer suggest it may be of asteroidal origin. If so, it has the shortest perihelion distance of any known asteroid.
Rachel C. Wolf et al 2016 ApJ 821 115
Spectroscopy of 345 Type Ia supernovae is used to study the correlations between various properties of the supernovae and the properties of their host galaxies.
