Tidally distorted exoplanets : density corrections for short-period hot-Jupiters based solely on observable parameters
John Burton,Christopher A. Watson,Alan Fitzsimmons,Don Pollacco,V. Moulds,S. P. Littlefair,Peter J. Wheatley +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulated the tidally distorted surface for 34 known short-period hot-Jupiters, assuming surfaces of constant gravitational equipotential for the planet, and the resulting densities have been calculated based only on observed parameters of the exoplanet systems.

TL;DR: Refine the properties of the TOI-178 system with new photometry and TTV measurements. Improve the characterisation of the six planets and constrain the radii, orbital periods, and eccentricities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the discovery of a new transiting planet in the southern hemisphere by the WASP-south transit survey and confirmed photometrically and spectroscopically by the 1.2 m Swiss Euler telescope, LCOGT 2m Faulkes South Telescope, the 60 cm TRAPPIST telescope, and the ESO 3.6 m telescope.

TL;DR: The first direct detection of gravitational waves was made in late 2015 with the Advanced LIGO detectors as mentioned in this paper, and a worldwide collaboration of electromagnetic follow-up observers were notified of candidate gravitational wave events during the first science run, and many facilities were engaged in the search for counterparts.
WASP-8b: a retrograde transiting planet in a multiple system

TL;DR: WASP-8b is a transiting planet of 2.25 ± 0.08 MJup on a strongly inclined eccentric 8.15-day orbit, moving in a retrograde direction to the rotation of its late-G host star as mentioned in this paper.
