By inspecting data from the LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey (LoTSS), we noticed a peculiar bright and filamentary radio source at low-galactic latitude ($b \approx 0.5 °$). This source, detected also in pr...

A new method of extracting atmospheric variations around the limb of a hot Jupiter using transmission mapping of JWST data finds a transition between the equator and pole of WASP-17 b. The authors mea...

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team completed a marathon of activities to fine-tune the observatory’s vision and prepare the primary instrument for

Archival data show a pronounced bimodality in the architectures of known multi-planet systems that can be traced back to the interplay of host star properties and planet formation histories, which sha...

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has driven farther than any vehicle ever has on the surface of another world. On Oct. 11, the rover’s odometer reached

Compact double neutron star (DNS) systems are unique laboratories for testing gravitational theories and studying DNS mergers. Here we report the properties of a new DNS system, PSR J1856--0039, disco...

In the past decade, hundreds of exoplanets have been discovered in extremely short orbits below 10 days. Unlike in the Solar System, planets in these systems orbit their host stars close enough to dis...

Three Indigenous studies scholars draw from colonial histories and explain why listening for alien life can have ethical ramifications.

AIP History Weekly Edition: October 9, 2026

We present high signal-to-noise, medium resolution (R ~ 1000), time-series JWST/NIRSpec spectra of WISE 0855 (265K), the coldest known brown dwarf. Medium resolution, time-series spectroscopy gives us...

Discovery of Isolated, Quenched Candidate Backsplash Dwarf Galaxies near M101, Shapiro, Julian

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are enigmatic millisecond-duration signals which encode otherwise unattainable information on the plasma which permeates our Universe, providing insights into magnetic fields ...
