JWST observations of high-redshift galaxies show no evolution in dust geometry to z~2.4 and yield an empirical calibration linking resolved differential reddening to SFR surface density.
Detection of a micronova burst in TESS data of IGR J17014-4306, with inferred burned mass 1.6e-11 solar masses and recurrence time ~20 days, adding the eighth confirmed system.
LRDs require Compton-thick gas at moderate metallicity plus high accretion rates producing weak X-rays to explain their non-detection, implying they are not chemically pristine.

On the quenching of LRD X-ray emission by both Compton-thick gas and high accretion rates
