Efficient mass transfer in binaries naturally limits the mass of the first-born black hole and produces a sharp drop above 45 solar masses that mimics the pair-instability gap.

Compact protoplanetary discs disperse inside-out when photoevaporation is limited to their cut-off radius, unlike the outside-in dispersal seen in extended discs.
Sustained mass transfer from a circumbinary disc enables giant planet formation in gamma-Cephei-like binaries by prolonging the lifetime of the circumprimary disc against truncation and photoevaporation.
Tentative evidence for a super-Jupiter at 15-100 AU or brown dwarf at 20-170 AU in 51 Pegasi from RV curvature, but the signal is likely driven by Lick/Hamilton instrument drift.
Interstellar objects may contribute enough baryonic mass to reduce the local dark matter halo density to 0.24 GeV/cm³.
Proposes that 10 years of 0.5 μas astrometry of Proxima Centauri can distinguish MOND from Newtonian gravity in the low-acceleration regime.
