A new stellar stream is discovered around the Milky Way in the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 data. The probable progenitor is a globular cluster, though no obvious counterpart is found.

Kepler data is reanalyzed to identify false positives among eclipsing binaries — targets that are not eclipsing binaries themselves, but are contaminated by eclipsing binary sources nearby.

NuSTAR has provided the first directly imaged and spectrally resolved X-rays above 2 keV from non-flaring active regions on the solar surface, placing constraints on high-temperature components.

Jack Dobinson et al 2016 ApJ 820 29

Simulations of the collisional dust production of a Jupiter-like planet embedded in a disk demonstrate the different markers that can pre-select promising exoplanet-hosting candidate disks.

344 candidate “jellyfish galaxies” — galaxies being stripped of their gas, exhibiting trailing tentacles of debris — are found in a systematic search at z=0.04-0.07, demonstrating their ubiquity in clusters.

Y. Fukui et al 2016 ApJ 820 26

Observations of two molecular clouds in RCW 38, the youngest super star cluster in the Milky Way, suggest they are currently colliding, triggering the formation of ~20 O stars in the cluster center.
