TL;DR: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as mentioned in this paper will discover thousands of exoplanets in orbit around the brightest stars in the sky, including Earth-sized to gas giants, around a wide range of stellar types and orbital distances.

TL;DR: The detection of X-ray emission at a location coincident with the kilonova transient provides the missing observational link between short γ-ray bursts and gravitational waves from neutron-star mergers, and gives independent confirmation of the collimated nature of the γ,ray-burst emission.

TL;DR: Observations suggest a sudden accretion event onto a central MBH of mass about 106 to 107 solar masses, which leads to a natural analogy of Sw 1644+57 to a temporary smaller-scale blazar.
