TL;DR: GRAVITY as mentioned in this paper is a new instrument to coherently combine the light of the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Interferometer to form a telescope with an equivalent 130 m diameter angular resolution and a collecting area of 200 m$^2$.

TL;DR: The first near-IR scattered light detection of the transitional disk associated with the Herbig Ae star MWC 758 using data obtained as part of the Strategic Exploration of Exoplanets and Disks with Subaru, and 1.1 micron HST/NICMOS data was presented in this paper.

TL;DR: Spatially resolved, multiwavelength observations of circumstellar dust shells of three stars on the asymptotic giant branch of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram show that transparency usually implies insufficient radiative pressure to drive a wind, the radiation field can accelerate these large grains through photon scattering rather than absorption—a plausible mass loss mechanism for lower-amplitude pulsating stars.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported a spatial offset of ten micro-arcseconds or about 0.03 parsecs between the red and blue photo-centres of the broad Paschen-α line of the quasar 3C 273 perpendicular to the direction of its radio jet.

TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of a gap within T Cha's disk, inferred from fitting to the spectral energy distribution, has suggested on-going planetary formation, and a companion candidate is located at 6.7 AU from the primary, well within the disk gap.
