Hubble Spots a Ultra-relativistic Jet From Neutron Star Crash
We have made measurements of the speed of a relativistic jet, in the gravitational-wave source and binary neutron-star merger GW170817, using the Hubble Space Telescope.

Observation of inverse Compton emission
from GRB 190114C
We have found the TeV emission from the long-duration gamma-ray burst, GRB 190114C, to be produced from inverse Compton up-scattering of synchrotron photons from the afterglow.

Hubble constant measurement from GW170817
We have made an improved measurement of the Hubble constant using the standard-siren approach, by combining high-angular-resolution radio observations together with gravitational-wave data of the binary neutron star merger GW170817.

Superluminal motion seen in a neutron
star merger event
Using precision astrometry with the radio very we precise measurement of the motion of the jet in GW170817 to find that the source has an apparent speed of five times the speed of light

Mildly relativistic outflow spotted in GW170817
Afterglow radio observations indicate a mildly relativistic outflow following the neutron star merger GW170817. The mysterious low-luminosity gamma-ray pulse, detected 2 secoinds after the gravitational wave chirp, likely originated from this outflow.

New life found that lives off electricity
We have found new microbial communities, 1.5 km beneath the surface of the Earth, that can be cultivated on electrodes. The results could give clues to the origins of life on Earth and beyond.
