Jupiter-like planet discovered in a distant star system

A team of astronomers led by Alexis Smith of the German Aerospace Center's (DLR) Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin reports
the detection of a Jupiter-like planet orbiting a distant subgiant star known as EPIC 212803289. The researchers also present compelling
existence for the existence of a third body in the system, most likely a brown dwarf. The results were published Sept. 1 in a paper on arXiv.org.

The Gaia spacecraft is conducting the most ambitious and thorough census of our galaxy ever attempted,
gathering data on 100,000 stars every hour. With the mission’s first major data release due this month,
Gerry Gilmore and Floor van Leeuwen explain how the spacecraft works and assess its likely impact on
the field of astrophysics.

In a new paper published in Physical Review Letters, physicists Yu-Sheng Liu, David McKeen, and Gerald A. Miller at the University of Washington
in Seattle have hypothesized the existence of a new particle that looks very enticing because it could simultaneously solve two important problems:
the proton radius puzzle and a discrepancy in muon anomalous magnetic moment measurements that differ significantly from standard model predictions.

New research shines startling light on star systems that host hundreds of black holes
Ripples in fabric of space-time? Hundreds of undiscovered black holes: New research shines startling light on star systems that host hundreds of black holes -- ScienceDaily
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160907215155.htm

Computer simulations of a spherical collection of stars known as 'NGC 6101' reveal that it contains hundreds of black holes,
until now thought impossible. Recent observations already found black hole candidates in similar systems, with this research
enabling astrophysicists to map black holes in other clusters. These systems could be the cradle of gravitational wave emission,
'ripples' in the fabric of space-time.

The southernmost part of Pluto that NASA's New Horizons spacecraft could "see" during closest approach in July 2015
contains a range of fascinating geological features, and offers clues into what might lurk in the regions shrouded
in darkness during the flyby.
