TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present an experimental road map for spectroscopic experiments beyond DESI, which will map 40 million galaxies and quasars and capture a significant fraction of the available linear modes up to z = 1.2.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present observations of SN 2018fif (ZTF 18abokyfk) and employ the SOPRANOS code, an implementation of the model by Sapir & Waxman and its extension to early times by Morag et al.

TL;DR: The discovery of R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars in the Andromeda galaxy (M31) using the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) was reported in this article.

TL;DR: The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has greatly expanded the number and energy window of observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) as discussed by the authors, however, the coarse localizations of tens to a hundred square degrees provided by the Fermia GRB Monitor instrument have posed a formidable obstacle to locating the bursts' host galaxies, measuring their redshifts, and tracking their panchromatic afterglows.

TL;DR: In the next decade the peculiar velocities of SNe Ia in the local z < 0.3 Universe will provide a measure of γ to ± 0.01 precision that can definitively distinguish between General Relativity and leading models of alternative gravity as mentioned in this paper.
