TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of very shallow (ΔF/F ≈ 3.4× 10 −4 ) periodic dips in the light curve of an active V = 11.7 G9V star observed by the CoRoT satellite, which they interpret as caused by a transiting companion.

TL;DR: In this article, an intensive observational campaign carried out with HARPS at the 3.6 m telescope at La Silla on the star CoRoT-7 was reported, where several approaches were used to extract the radial velocity signal of the planet(s) from the stellar activity signal.

TL;DR: Images from the OSIRIS scientific imaging system onboard Rosetta show that the nucleus of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko consists of two lobes connected by a short neck, which raises the question of whether the two Lobes represent a contact binary formed 4.5 billion years ago, or a single body where a gap has evolved via mass loss.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the interior of the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko is homogeneous and constant in density on a global scale without large voids.

TL;DR: CoRoT-Exo-3b as discussed by the authors is the first very massive transiting planetary companion with a short orbital period, observed from May to October 2007 for 152 days, and has a radius of 101 ± 007 R Jup and transits around its F3-type primary every 426 days in a synchronous orbit.
