A detailed study of the Fermi-LAT observations relevant to the recent LIGO gravitational-wave detection found no gamma-ray counterparts to GW150914.

77 candidate gravitationally lensed dusty star-forming galaxies have been detected. These galaxies make ideal tools for studying the detailed properties of starburst phenomena in distant galaxies.

The superior spatial resolution of NuSTAR above 10 keV allowed for the detection of dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the source SWIFT J2028.5+2543. This pair has a projected separation of 25.3 kpc.

NGC 1332 is used to demonstrate that by resolving gas kinematics on small angular scales in galaxy nuclei, ALMA is able to measure determine the masses of supermassive black holes.
A. Gianninas et al 2016 ApJ 822 L27
Three precursors to extremely low-mass white dwarfs with mixed H/He atmospheres were recently discovered to have asteroseismic pulsations, providing insight into what causes the pulsations.
