Blue straggler stars in old open clusters exhibit a Kraft break in rotation, with rapid rotators above the break and slow rotators below, indicating their envelopes behave like those of single stars.

A neural network trained on simulations infers stripping times for Sagittarius stream stars from phase-space data, measuring a 0.3 dex/Gyr metallicity gradient and estimating ages for globular clusters such as Pal 12 and NGC 2419.
Hot Jupiter occurrence in the Galactic halo is low at ~0.13% with no significant difference between in-situ and accreted populations, well below disk rates.
Blue straggler stars in old open clusters predominantly appear near the terminal-age main sequence because mass transfer from asymptotic giant branch donors enriches their cores with helium.
Simulations show Lindblad-resonance wrinkles from non-winding spirals are filled with zero-age stars on orbits normally occupied by much older populations, offering an age-based constraint on past transient spiral patterns.
Gravitational redshift data for SDSS J060851.44-005950.3 favor an oxygen-neon core with Bayes factor 2.7 over carbon-oxygen.
The Via Project is a planned five-year dual-hemisphere spectroscopic survey targeting over 2 million stars with 100 m/s RV stability and transient spectroscopy to r~24 using instruments on MMT and Magellan/Clay telescopes starting in 2027.
A lithium chemical evolution model for the GSE galaxy matches survey data showing Spite-like and eRGB plateaus at low metallicity with a hint of reduced nova contributions.
New SOAR speckle data resolve 400+ previously unseen binary pairs and deliver orbital elements for 202 systems with quantified errors.
Gaia DR3 data favors flattened disk-like dark matter over spherical halos in the Milky Way.
Laser-sail picospacecraft swarms could deliver gigapixel imaging of Proxima b during near-relativistic flybys and detect signs of surface life or civilization.
