The Helix Nebula is a low-density, stratified object with near-solar oxygen abundance (8.7), a ~1 dex sulfur deficit, and moderate helium/nitrogen enrichment placing it near the Type I boundary, with abundance variations attributed to ionization structure rather than chemical inhomogeneity.

A new crystallization index C_index ranks globular clusters by ordered radial and kinematic substructure from Gaia data, identifying a few complex systems but no evidence for phase-space features requiring explanations outside standard dynamics.
Simulations find metal-richer compact stellar systems resist disruption better in ULDM halos, with tidal fields altering stability and heating strengthening at higher particle masses when system size is much smaller than the de Broglie wavelength, implying revisions to existing constraints.
