A Renaissance study of Am stars I. The mass ratio distribution
TL;DR: In this paper, the mass ratio distribution (MRD) of the Carquillat & Prieur sample was derived using a Richardson-Lucy inversion method, assuming a fixed mass of the Am primary and randomly distributed orbital inclinations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the 0.01 and 1.0 µm binned transmission spectrum of WASP-80b from low-resolution spectra obtained with the FORS2 instrument attached to ESO's Very Large Telescope.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the LBV HR Car is a binary system with two point sources (or alternatively one point source and one slightly extended source) at about 2 mas separation and a contrast ratio of about 1:5.

TL;DR: The discovery of an eclipsing dwarf nova (DN) inside the bilobed nebula Te 11 was reported in this article, where the accreting white dwarf was found to have a mass 1.18 M⊙ and temperature 13 kK.
Asymmetrical tidal tails of open star clusters: stars crossing their cluster's prah challenge Newtonian gravitation

TL;DR: In this article , the Phantom of Ramses code is applied to estimate the number of stars in the leading and trailing tails of a Milgromian open cluster to estimate its orbital eccentricity, showing that the asymmetry reaches the observed values for 50 < ǫ cl /ǫ < 200, being maximal near peri-galacticon, and can slightly invert near apo-Galacticon.
