Spectroscopic measurements confirm a tight 6D phase-space clump of four RGB stars as part of the distant southern spur of the Sagittarius stream, likely stripped from Sagittarius's halo in the earliest interaction phases.
300S stellar stream exhibits three density peaks, smooth width variations, a possible 4.7 degree gap, and a kink modeled as resulting from Large Magellanic Cloud interaction across its full known footprint.
Accretion laws with super-linear mass dependence produce divergent population evolution that broadens compact-object mass distributions and drives binary mass ratios toward unity, providing a pathway to massive gravitational-wave sources.
Ages inferred for red giant stars via machine learning are generally insensitive to hyperparameters and architecture but somewhat sensitive to training set choice, especially for the oldest, coolest, and lowest-metallicity stars.
New abundance measurements for NGC 6723 align its chemical patterns with other metal-intermediate globular clusters rather than indicating a transition to metal-rich properties.
N-body simulations show that mutual interactions between Terzan 2, 4, and 5 raise mass-loss rates for the smaller clusters and drive prolate deformations absent in isolated runs.
Apparent sodium spread in NGC 188 is attributed to measurement uncertainties of 0.16 dex rather than multiple populations.
A review of theoretical models for the first stars and observational strategies including JWST searches, near-field studies, and lensing, noting growing candidates and narrowing parameter space.

Accretion-Driven Evolution of Compact-Object Populations in Gas-Rich Environments and the Origin of Massive Gravitational-Wave Sources
Accretion laws with super-linear mass dependence produce divergent population evolution that broadens compact-object mass distributions and drives binary mass ratios toward unity, providing a pathway to massive gravitational-wave sources.
