ALMA Finds Unexpected Trove of Gas Around Larger Stars - NRAO: Revealing the Hidden Universe
https://public.nrao.edu/news/pressreleases/2016-alma-ob-disk
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) surveyed dozens of young stars – some Sun-like
and others approximately double that size – and discovered that the larger variety have surprisingly rich reservoirs of
carbon monoxide gas in their debris disks. In contrast, the lower-mass, Sun-like stars have debris disks that are virtually gas-free.

HiRISE | Becquerel Crater Dune and Yardang Interactions (ESP_034419_2015)
http://www.uahirise.org/ESP_034419_2015
The creation of digital terrain models (DTMs) is an integral part of studying dune activity on Mars. They are used to determine dune heights
and for precisely tying annual monitoring images to the DTM (called orthorectifying) for more accurate dune displacement calculations.

HiRISE DTMs of Becquerel Crater, located in Arabia Terra, are especial helpful for understanding dune-topography interactions. A dune field
can be seen lining the north and south edges of the crater’s interior layered deposit. The summit of the deposit reaches 700 meters above
the crater floor. Additionally, multiple erosional features can be observed on the surface of the deposit including: staircase weathering,
knobs, and yardangs.

ESO and AIP Sign Agreement to Build 4MOST — English
http://www.aip.de/en/news/press/4most-agreement
23 August 2016. ESO has signed an agreement with a consortium led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) to build 4MOST,
a unique, next-generation spectroscopic instrument, which will be mounted on the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA)
at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in northern Chile. 4MOST, the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope, is expected to collect approximately
75 million spectra over its planned fifteen-year lifetime.

Exactly how unusual is our Solar System? | PLANETPLANET
https://planetplanet.net/2016/07/12/exactly-how-unusual-is-our-solar-system/
Our Sun is a G star. There are 20 G stars within 30 light years out of almost 400 total stars. The vast majority of stars are M stars,
also known as “red dwarfs”. These small red stars have much longer lifetimes than G stars but shine much fainter. Among nearby stars,
the Sun is modestly weird. If give our definition of a “Sun-like” star some latitude, our star ends up being rare at the 10% level.

Cosmic Neighbors Inhibit Star Formation, Even in the Early-Universe W. M. Keck Observatory
http://www.keckobservatory.org/recent/entry/four_most_distant_galaxy_clusters_ever_found
The international University of California, Riverside-led SpARCS collaboration has discovered four of the most distant clusters of galaxies ever found,
as they appeared when the Universe was only four billion years old. Clusters are rare regions of the Universe consisting of hundreds of galaxies containing
trillions of stars, as well as hot gas and mysterious Dark Matter. Spectroscopic observations from the W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea, Hawaii and
the Very Large Telescope in Chile confirmed the four candidates to be massive clusters. This sample is now providing the best measurement yet of when and
how fast galaxy clusters stop forming stars in the early Universe.

NASA's WISE, Fermi Missions Reveal a Surprising Blazar Connection
http://www.nasa.gov/.../goddard/2016/nasas-wise-fermi-missions-reveal-a-surprising-blazar-connection

Astronomers studying distant galaxies powered by monster black holes have uncovered an unexpected link between two very different wavelengths
of the light they emit, the mid-infrared and gamma rays. The discovery, which was accomplished by comparing data from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared
Survey Explorer (WISE) and Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has enabled the researchers to uncover dozens of new blazar candidates.

Francesco Massaro at the University of Turin in Italy and Raffaele D’Abrusco at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, show for the first time that the mid-infrared colors of blazars in WISE data correlate to an equivalent measurement of their
gamma-ray output.
