JWST MIRI observations of 634 galaxies at 0.2<z<2 yield IR luminosity functions with faint-end slope α≈0.147, implying lower dust-obscured SFRD than previous ALMA/Herschel/Spitzer studies.
Eccentric mass transfer via the new GeMT model accounts for the eccentric orbits of wide sdB+MS binaries as a direct consequence of mass-transfer physics.
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.
Introduces regression on regression to fit physical parameters (τ_min, α, A, γ, δ) to GWTC-4 B-Spline merger rate posteriors, finding the progenitor formation rate evolves ~5.3 times steeper than the star formation rate at low z and exposing model misspecification.
Calypso is a parameter-conditioned stochastic surrogate model for circumbinary accretion flows using PCA and multivariate Gaussian modeling, released as open-source software with a closed-form likelihood for parameter inference from time series.
Realistic ISM fluctuations from TIGRESS-NCR MHD simulations drive stellar radial heating with σ_R ∝ t^{1/2} (early, cold) and t^{1/5} (late, warm) plus substantial migration explained by quasilinear theory with λ_* ~600 pc and τ_* ~70 Myr.
Blue straggler stars in old open clusters exhibit a Kraft break in rotation, with rapid rotators above the break and slow rotators below, indicating their envelopes behave like those of single stars.
Red quasars are intrinsically X-ray weak with low alpha_OX values, tracing a distinct evolutionary stage of suppressed black hole accretion relative to stellar mass growth.
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.

First near-IR weak-lensing analysis of CANDELS fields detects 12 shear-selected overdensities with masses 0.2-2.2 x 10^14 solar masses at redshifts 0.22-0.9 and mean z=0.68.
A soft-spectrum PULX candidate is reported in Cen A but XMM-SAS randomisation during data reduction renders the marginal 1.27 Hz pulsation detection unreliable across repeated reductions.
