First robust detection of kpc-scale filamentary H I structures in the CGM/IGM around NGC 4631 with widths 0.5-3.3 kpc, lengths 6.1-49.8 kpc, and three kinematic classes (U-shaped, linear, wavy).
New HST observations of P/2023 V6 (PANSTARRS) document its transition to dormancy and yield a diameter estimate of approximately 340 meters.
N-body simulations with Swiftest show that surface regolith ejected from ellipsoidal Centaurs can form captured proto-ring disks, with highest efficiency from equatorial avalanches.
First ALMA detection of hot cores in RX J1713.7-3946 shows column density ratios of organics, deuterated species, and S/N-bearing molecules indistinguishable from normal hot cores, attributed to recent exposure or magnetic shielding.
Cosmic ray transport in molecular cloud simulations boosts star formation efficiency by up to 43% and yields a top-heavier IMF with a high-mass slope shallower by ~20%.
Hydrolyzed haze analogs from water-rich exoplanet conditions show higher absorptivity and a high imaginary refractive index that flattens spectral features in atmospheric models.
JWST spatial-spectral maps of 3I/ATLAS show a CO-dominated coma with anisotropic N and Trot for apolar species, more symmetric polar species, and a flat H2O OPR of 2.7±0.2.
MHD collapse simulations define an Envelope-Disk Transition Zone (ENDTRANZ) where a jump in the j-r profile occurs due to positive gravitational torques, with a corresponding jump detected in ALMA observations of L1527 IRS.
Self-consistent curved dust wall models for T Tauri disks indicate that matching observed JHK colors requires millimeter grains lifted 0.5-3 scale heights above the midplane, implying high midplane turbulence.
New stellar occultation data from 2017-2023 indicates Pluto's atmospheric pressure plateaued from 2015 to 2021 and has started to drop, with lower-atmosphere slope changes consistent with haze settling.
Multi-epoch high-resolution spectroscopy reveals a stagnant [O I] gas reservoir at ~1 au in AB Aurigae that feeds high-rate accretion and crushes the stellar magnetosphere.
A new implementation of radial rays and multigroup radiation transport in Athena++ for frequency-dependent stellar irradiation achieves 2-5% average temperature agreement with Monte Carlo benchmarks in hydrostatic disk models using 64 bands.
New Gemini and JWST data show 450P/LONEOS has a 1.8 km nucleus, CO2 gas production of ~7e24 molec/s, water ice absorption, and activity consistent with CO2 release from crystallizing amorphous ice.
The low-mass IMF in Boötes I is consistent with the Milky Way within 68% confidence for broken power-law and lognormal forms, indicating universality at low metallicity.
A Hamiltonian framework maps coupled spin-orbit, spin-spin, and doubly synchronous resonances in ellipsoid binary asteroids and identifies a secondary resonance from nonlinear coupling between primary and secondary synchronous modes.
Catastrophic disruption of differentiated asteroids creates a sheet-like mix of core and mantle fragments with uniform iron-rock ratios that reaccumulate into iron-rich rubble piles if the core is molten.
A new wide-binary coordinate system in REBOUND's TRACE integrator produces qualitatively correct results for planet-planet scattering, stellar flybys, and ZLK oscillations where prior hybrid integrators fail, while matching IAS15 accuracy at up to 9x speed.
Four short-period giant planets around early-M dwarfs are confirmed with masses of 0.5–2.1 Jupiter masses and radii of 0.95–1.02 Jupiter radii.
YSO jet diversity, including counter-rotating and choked jets, arises from a spine-tower balance controlled by stellar rotation and magnetospheric field strength.
Massive young star clusters clear their natal gas faster than lower-mass clusters, based on HST and JWST imaging of four galaxies.
Post-perihelion spectra of 3I/ATLAS show reduced C2 depletion, asymmetric CN/metal outgassing, metal-CO correlation, and an unexplained [O I] residual after standard parent subtraction.
ALMA comparison finds starless cores in evolved IRBCs have ~2x higher median mass and density than in early IRDCs, favoring competitive accretion over massive prestellar core models for high-mass star formation.
JWST spectra of EC 53 indicate CO fundamental and H2O bending absorption weaken by ~2 during burst due to continuum dilution, with relative veiling yielding hot-continuum ratios of 2.9 and 1.71 and viscous-disk accretion-rate ratios of ~3.6 and ~2.0.
