Follow-up of 302 of the nebulae in the WISE Catalog of Galactic H ii Regions places 5 in the Outer Scutum–Centaurus Arm, making them the most distant H ii regions known in the galaxy.

The steep density gradient of globular clusters cause supernovae within them to discharge their metals and energy out into the surrounding medium, inhibiting contamination of the cluster.

Temperature properties were surveyed for 19 loop segments visible in an image of AR 11294. Several of them had multithermal cross-sections, suggesting coronal loops shouldn’t be modeled isothermally.

SDSS-IV’s eBOSS will improve measurements of the cosmological distance scale by applying the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation method to quasar samples. eBOSS will survey over 500,000 new quasars.

Gemini Planet Imager observations 51 Eridani b further confirm that it is indeed a young exoplanet. It doesn’t appear to share the same orbital inclination as the M-dwarf orbiting 51 Eridani.

A wide-field survey of 557 Trojans shows that the mean g − i color decreases with decreasing size, consistent with the theory that red objects are converted to less-red fragments upon collision.
