The radiopulsar PSRB1259-63 in a massive binary has an extremely high eccentricity (Johnston et al. ... We have assumed that explosion occurs at a random moment on the orbit and all the mass thrown off by a star instantly leaves the system because the characteristic velocity of matter from the exploded star is much higher than the orbital velocity. ...

... The measured bolometric flux and corrected NPOI angular diameter yield an effective temperature of 8600+/-500 K. Least-squares comparisons of synthetic spectral energy distributions from 1220 Г: to 3.6 cm with the observations provide estimates for the effective temperature and the mass-loss rate of ~=8400+/-100 K and (8+/-3)Г-10-7 Msolar yr-1, respectively. ...

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) and atomic lines are observed as interstellar absorptions in GALAH and other massive spectroscopic stellar surveys. By observing a given DIB toward many stars which are nearly in the same direction, but at different distances, one can reconstruct absorption sites along the line of sight. ...

. This illustration shows the distribution of dark matter, massive halos, and luminous quasars in a simulation of the early universe, shown 1.6 billion years after the Big Bang. Gray filaments show the distribution of dark matter. Small white circles mark concentrated "halos" of dark matter. Larger blue circles mark the most massive halos, which host the most luminous quasars. Paul Bode/Yue Shen, Princeton University
