TL;DR: In this article , the authors presented a comprehensive study of 29 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed approximately 0.8-60 days post-burst using Chandra and XMM-Newton and provided the inferred distributions of SGRB jet opening angles and true event rates.

TL;DR: In this article , a joint fit of the TESS and HST observations was performed to confirm that the transit of LTT 1445Ac is not grazing with 97% confidence.
GRB 180418A: a possibly short gamma-ray burst with a wide-angle outflow in a faint host galaxy

TL;DR: In this article, a set of X-ray GRB afterglow light curves from the UK Swift Science Data Centre were obtained using data supplied by the UK Infrared Telescope (UKIRT).
Reassessing the Evidence for Time Variability in the Atmosphere of the Exoplanet HAT-P-7 b
M. Lally,Andrew Vanderburg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors reassess the claimed detection of variability in the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-7 b, reported by Armstrong et al., and find that the apparent variations in HATP-P7 b's atmosphere could instead be caused by nonplanetary sources, most likely photometric variability due to supergranulation on the host star.
