What are the best RSS feeds for the latest astrophysics research?

In summary, there are multiple options for working scientists to stay updated on astrophysics articles through RSS feeds. While ScienceDaily is a popular option for the general public, it may not cater specifically to the needs of working scientists. The Astrophysical Journal is a suitable alternative, but there are also other science RSS feeds such as Centauri Dreams, Supernova Condensate, and PhysORG that offer a wider range of categories and can be read quickly.

I know that you could use ScienceDaily's RSS feed, but ScienceDaily is for the general public and not for working scientists.

So for working scientists, which one is best? I can obviously subscribe to the RSS of The Astrophysical Journal. But I'd prefer something that I could quickly read in, say, 20 minutes. I subscribe to a lot of other science RSS feeds and I get some astrophysics articles from them, but they are dwarfed by other submissions.

I like Centauri Dreams and Supernova Condensate the most, as they tend to be of the right reading level (advanced undergraduate) for me.
