X-ray reverberation lags are used to measure the mass of the stellar-mass black hole Cygnus X-1 for the first time.
Milky Way globular clusters formed with initial half-mass densities of ~10^6.4 M_sun/pc^3, bottom-light IMFs, and small present-day black hole mass fractions, inferred by coupling rapid evolution models with multimass equilibrium models fitted to present-day observations.
One acceleration measurement equals ~10^5 phase-space measurements for local dark matter density estimation, with acceleration outperforming Jeans modeling in both equilibrium and perturbed Milky Way simulations.
GraphNPE recovers a significantly lower central density for Boötes I consistent with a core while Draco remains marginally cuspy, and demonstrates that higher-order velocity moments reduce bias in dynamical modeling.
Detection of a non-harmonic QPO precursor to Type-B in the HIMS of MAXI J1820+070 using NICER timing data.
Low-redshift IGM measured to be extremely hot (T0 ≈ 28,000 K) and nearly isothermal at z=0.1, with Gamma_HI lower than UV-background models, possibly due to 15 km/s turbulence.
Self-regulating AGN jets in MHD simulations of cool-core clusters yield realistic FRI radio morphologies viewed along the jet axis and account for frequency-independent lobe extents via 1-50 μG fields allowing both young and old electrons to radiate.
Self-consistent spherical accretion simulations show cooling-enhanced growth of PBHs with radiative efficiency ~10^{-2} in the bremsstrahlung regime, yielding a critical seed mass of ~10^{-16} M_sun to consume a solar-mass star in a Hubble time.
Primordial black holes captured by stars lead to either quiet consumption or explosive disruption via disk formation, producing transients and high-spin remnants with potentially observable event rates.
Type-C QPO amplitudes correlate linearly with jet inclination up to 8 Hz in BH LMXBs, lower on decay than rise, reproducible by precessing hot flow if misalignment ≥10-15°.
First detection of QPOs above 250 keV in Swift J1727.8-1613 with up to 8.9 sigma significance, showing decreasing rms and increasing soft lags that suggest a geometric origin from small-scale jet precession.
Boötes III has σ_v ≈ 1.7 km/s, a recent ~9.5 kpc pericenter on a polar eccentric orbit, and is actively tidally disrupting, with debris broadly consistent with the Styx stream.
AGN radiation pressure, not black-hole mass, simultaneously boosts large-scale [O III] outflows and clears circumnuclear gas as Eddington ratio rises.
SN 2011kl is broadly consistent with an LFBOT light-curve model and ULGRB hosts match LFBOT/LGRB environments, supporting a shared He-CO merger progenitor for a subset of both classes.
In 24 BHXRB outbursts, the thermal disk luminosity drops below the soft-state exponential decay baseline, and this deficit is used as a tracer of disk truncation, corroborated by decreasing timing frequencies.
Steady GRMHD jets exhibit a universal near-horizon polarization pattern set only by black hole spin, with large-radius polarization angle following a collimation-determined power law and intermediate scales modified by plasma loading.
Simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies reveal direction-dependent dynamical heating during stellar radial migration, with inward migrators heating, some cooling, and cold preservation uncommon especially for older stars.
Galaxies become less concentrated, more asymmetric and less clumpy toward lower stellar masses, with bar fraction declining to zero near 10^8 solar masses and CAS parameters losing separating power in the dwarf regime.
In 37 massive ETGs, the IMF becomes less bottom-heavy with radius, with average α_IMF falling from 2.16 to 1.74 and IMF gradients dominating M/L variations over stellar population effects.
High-resolution zoom-in simulation of a z~10 galaxy produces over 10^5 star clusters with scale-free mass function, 90% of star formation in clusters, global SFE 0.2-0.3, and reproduces JWST super-bright galaxies via feedback-free bursts.
Koposov 2 is an ancient, extremely metal-poor, compact stellar system best explained as a dissolving globular cluster, not a dwarf galaxy.
X-ray timing and spectral analysis of ASKAP J174508.9-505149 detects matching periodicity and features consistent with an accreting magnetic CV.
The Guitar nebula's pulsar appears to accelerate electrons to within ~3/4 of the theoretical maximum potential, and its brightness is best explained by the pulsar crossing an old supernova remnant's compressed, magnetized shell.
