Using “forced photometry”, in which information learned in one survey is applied to data gathered in a second survey, WISE has obtained photometry for 400 million SDSS sources.

A sample of progenitors of local ultra-massive galaxies supports the model of massive-galaxy formation wherein in-situ star formation dominates at z~2, mergers dominate at z<1, and both occur at 1<z<2.

Photometric observations reveal multiple recent dimming events of RW Aurigae, a Classical T Tauri system. They may be due to occultation of the star by its tidally disrupted circumstellar disk.

A 1.3 Mpc diffuse radio source was found in the vicinity of the Abell 449 cluster of galaxies. The parent galaxy of this extended relic structure appears to be starting new jet activity.

This experimental study provides insight on the potential composition of Europa’s subsurface ocean based on what minerals are confirmed to have crystallized at its frozen surface.

M. Ansdell et al 2016 ApJ 816 69

Ten young dwarf stars’ “dipping” light curves could be caused by differing mechanisms, including: inner disk warps, vortices at the inner disk edge, and transiting clumps of circumstellar material.
