In TNG-50, 80% of Milky Way-mass galaxies align their present-day angular momentum with the orbital angular momentum of their most massive merger, and 81% of their stellar halos rotate prograde relative to the disk.
N-body simulations of the Milky Way-GSE merger indicate that halo and merger-formed globular clusters largely retain orbital energy, allowing most GSE-linked GCs to trace accretion events in the E-Lz plane.
Simulations of a tuned 1:1 merger of NGC 1052 produce long-lived tidal tails and dwarf galaxies matching observed sizes of DM-free dwarfs, unlike the dwarf bullet model.
Gaia DR3 data favors flattened disk-like dark matter over spherical halos in the Milky Way.
A two-wave radial corrugation model fitted to LAMOST and Gaia data reproduces the observed periodic radial velocity variations and explains the inner-outer disk transition in the Milky Way.
Interstellar objects may contribute enough baryonic mass to reduce the local dark matter halo density to 0.24 GeV/cm³.
Laser-sail picospacecraft swarms could deliver gigapixel imaging of Proxima b during near-relativistic flybys and detect signs of surface life or civilization.
No stellar flybys within the past 10 Myr and 500 pc in Gaia DR3 explain the present trajectory of 3I/ATLAS, which matches thin-disk kinematics despite its high peculiar velocity.

3I/ATLAS: In Search of the Witnesses to Its Voyage
No stellar flybys within the past 10 Myr and 500 pc in Gaia DR3 explain the present trajectory of 3I/ATLAS, which matches thin-disk kinematics despite its high peculiar velocity.
