A new Bayesian analysis of VLBI observations of GW170817's jet afterglow constrains the viewing angle to 16.8-19.2 degrees and measures H0 = 65.5 ± 4.4 km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}, closer to Planck than SH0ES values.
Spectroscopic members of the M92 stream yield a Milky Way bar pattern speed of 29.1 +0.7/-0.4 km s^{-1} kpc^{-1}.
A large DESI sample reveals thousands of infalling cold gas absorbers at low redshift, with velocity distributions indicating multiple accretion pathways including radial inflows and satellite accretion.
The atmosphere of TOI-1130b shows high metallicity, low C/O, and elevated mean molecular weight consistent with ex-situ formation beyond the water ice line.
Resolved gas and dust maps in a z=2 quiescent galaxy reveal accreted material from tidal interactions and a past star-formation rejuvenation, indicating that gas content variations are not solely due to consumption timescales.
Massive black hole binary mergers produce orphaned low-frequency signals in PTA pulsar terms that can be stacked for archival multiband gravitational-wave detection.
No definitive lensing is detected in GW231123, though a potential microlensing feature with modulation amplitude up to 0.8 at 95% confidence is noted, limited by large waveform systematics in short signals.
JWST spectroscopy of SIMP 0136 shows variability from three atmospheric regions linked to layers with forsterite clouds and water, using PCA, model combinations, and two new mapping methods.
Detection of GW190814 from the coalescence of a 23 solar-mass black hole and a 2.6 solar-mass compact object, the most unequal-mass binary yet observed with gravitational waves.
Binary neutron star mergers with evolving merger rates or yields are strongly preferred over constant scenarios to explain Milky Way r-process enrichment, with Bayes factors exceeding 10^20, yet remain in tension with short gamma-ray burst observations.
Any background-inert λ in coincident f(Q) gravity degenerates with σ80 via an As-D0(λ) link, inflating σ80 to unphysical levels and raising As by 20-30% in tension with Planck unless fixed by As priors.
GJ 1132 b is estimated to have received at least 50 times the cumulative XUV flux of modern Earth with over 95% probability across models, supporting its classification as an atmosphere-free world.
Milky Way abundance trends act as effective empirical proxies for nucleosynthetic yields, recovering alpha and Fe-peak abundances in quiescent galaxies with 0.05 dex median offset versus 0.23 dex for theory, indicating largely universal yields.
Discovery of a gravitationally lensed Type II supernova at z=1.37 with magnification ≳100×, confirmed via multi-telescope spectra and imaging.
Mixing electromagnetic radiation with dark radiation between BBN and recombination dilutes the baryon-to-entropy ratio, tightening the allowed total extra radiation to at most ~25% more than dark-radiation-only scenarios.
Star formation histories inferred for z=2-5 massive quiescent galaxies imply past number densities that align with observed rapid evolution since z~7.
Statistical combination of sub-threshold post-merger signals from 50-70 BNS events can constrain the maximum mass of hot neutron stars to 11-20% fractional uncertainty, potentially translating to 12-21% on the cold TOV mass.
A forward-modeling framework called TAED combines multi-technique exoplanet samples over Galactic scales and recovers demographic parameters accurately from simulated Kepler transit data using differential evolution optimization.
Statistical redshifts inferred from mass spectrum features and galaxy catalogs for 142 GW events yield H0 = 76.6 km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1} and Ξ0 = 1.2, consistent with general relativity.
A Gaussian process framework with a localized-deviation kernel is used to test general relativity on simulated and GWTC-3 binary black hole signals, finding no evidence for deviations and limiting strain deviations to 7% for one event.
Introduces a frequentist p-value approach to falsify models of binary black hole formation for events such as GW190521, showing some models are adequate while others are not.
TOI-4311 hosts a 0.99-day super-Earth (1.38 R_earth, 4.5 M_earth) and 15-day sub-Neptune (2.47 R_earth), plus a candidate 38-day planet, with the dense inner planet potentially challenging formation theories given the host's galactic population.
The Big Wheel at z~3 has a stellar-to-halo mass ratio of 0.06, higher than expected, implying efficient stellar assembly without major mergers or instabilities.
