If you are looking for ASX 200 dividend shares to buy, then it could be worth checking out the three listed below. They have been named as buys and tipped to provide investors with a nice source of income in the coming years. Let's see what analysts are saying about them: ( ) Analysts think that Cedar Woods could be an ASX 200 dividend share to buy right now. It is one of Australia's leading property developers with a portfolio that is diversified by geography, price point, and product type. Morgans is a fan of Cedar Woods and believes it is well-placed for double-digit growth this year. Its analysts note that "looking forward, the signs are positive, with guidance for +10% NPAT growth in FY25, supported by favorable operating conditions in most key states." The broker expects this to underpin dividends per share of 27 cents in FY 2025 and then 33.3 cents in FY 2026. Based on its current share price of $5.65, this equates to 4.8% and 5.9% , respectively. Morgans currently has an add rating and $6.70 price target on the company's shares. ( ) Another ASX 200 dividend share that has been given the thumbs up by analysts is Endeavour Group. It owns Australia's largest retail drinks network under the Dan Murphy's and BWS brands. It also runs the country's largest portfolio of licensed hotels. Goldman Sachs continues to rate the company highly. Its analysts like it due to their "continued belief in a high quality retailer gaining share amid a category down-cycle with a resilient growth option in Hotels." They also note that the "company is trading at FY25 P/E of 17x vs historical average of 22x." As for dividends, Goldman is forecasting fully franked dividends of 20 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 22 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on the current Endeavour share price of $4.36, this will mean dividend yields of 4.6% and 5%, respectively. Goldman has a buy rating and $5.50 price target on its shares. ( ) Finally, Bell Potter thinks that Smartgroup could be an ASX 200 dividend share to buy. It is a simplified employee management services provider offering salary packaging, fleet management, and a range of other services to organisations across Australia. Bell Potter believes that "SIQ looks well priced given a fwd P/E of ~14.5x, a defensive client base, earnings tailwinds from the Electric Car Discount Bill (exempts low or zero emission vehicles from Fringe Benefits Tax), an ROE of ~30% and a strong balance sheet." As for income, the broker is forecasting fully franked dividends of 53.3 cents in FY 2024 and then 59.7 cents in FY 2025. Based on its current share price of $8.01, this means big potential dividend yields of 6.6% and 7.4%, respectively. Bell Potter currently has a buy rating and $10.00 price target on its shares.

An anti-corruption probe into one of the state’s busiest hospitals is examining claims that surgeons charged the Transport Accident Commission for operating on multiple patients at the same time. This masthead revealed on Sunday that the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission was investigating a handful of surgeons at the Royal Melbourne Hospital over allegations they billed the TAC for medical procedures never carried out on patients, and fraudulently claimed assistant surgeon fees. IBAC is investigating claims that surgeons fraudulently billed the TAC. Credit: iStock Four sources – speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal – have revealed that surgeons would simultaneously run multiple theatres, often staffed by registrars, and then claim to the TAC they had operated in all theatres at the same time. This, the sources said, enabled them to attract higher rebates from the public insurer. Registrars are not allowed to charge the TAC. “The primary surgeon is jumping from one theatre to the next and not being meaningfully involved in the actual surgery but just writing operation reports,” one hospital source said. “They might write these reports from the tearoom. It is really disgusting.” The government-owned TAC is funded by Victorian motorists to pay for the treatment of road accident victims, and reimburses hospitals, surgeons and anaesthetists for each TAC patient they treat. Surgeons and anaesthetists bill the TAC for this work in addition to receiving an hourly rate from their hospital, an arrangement insiders say creates a perverse financial incentive for some surgeons to harvest TAC patients. It can also be revealed that IBAC is looking into concerns that some surgeons at the Parkville hospital cherry-picked lucrative TAC patients, prioritising them over public patients waiting for urgent surgery. “Some surgeons have monopolised the trauma ... they have gone out of their way to treat TAC cases ... to make sure they are the only ones who bill for it,” said one hospital source, who did not want to be identified for fear of reprisals. This masthead has seen evidence of one injured TAC patient being moved to a rehabilitation facility before their operation and then transported to the Royal Melbourne Hospital to allegedly coincide with a particular surgeon being rostered on. A hospital source claimed this was orchestrated to allow the particular surgeon to bill the TAC for the patient’s surgery. “Everyone knows what happens; they are too frightened to say anything,” another hospital source said. Health Minister Mary-Anne Thomas. Credit: Nine On Sunday, Victorian Health Minister Mary-Anne Thomas welcomed the IBAC investigation, saying that while there was no evidence the alleged behaviour was widespread, if the allegations were true that would be “a gross misuse of public funds and breach of trust”. “If this is true, I’m absolutely devastated. This is a breach of trust with the Victorian people,” she said. “The integrity of our health system is absolutely paramount, and it’s important that Victorians can have the highest trust in our healthcare system.” Both Thomas and TAC Minister Danny Pearson said they were not aware of the allegations before Friday, despite three hospital sources telling The Age the accusations were the worst-kept secret among Melbourne’s medical community. Thomas said there was no reason to believe the TAC incentives gave surgeons and anaesthetists the opportunity to abuse the state’s system. Pearson told media he would not comment on an ongoing investigation other than to say he had not been aware of the allegations until he read about them in this masthead. “I think it’s appropriate that that investigation be allowed to run its course without providing a running commentary,” he said. Opposition health spokeswoman Georgie Crozier called on IBAC to release its findings and said she believed the alleged scam was costing taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars a day. “These allegations were reported to the TAC years ago, reported to IBAC years ago, reported to the Royal Melbourne Hospital executive years ago,” she said. Credit: Paul Harris “Victorians deserve better than a health system that is mired in corruption and scandals like this ... we’ve got corruption rorting in one of Victoria’s largest and most prominent hospitals – and it’s just not acceptable.” Crozier said the relevant ministers should be stepping in to resolve these issues. While the exact scale of the IBAC investigation is unknown, medical fraud and compliance expert Dr Margaret Faux said better technology was needed to crack down on incorrect claims. While the TAC has adopted the Medicare Benefits Schedule items, definitions and rules for services provided by medical practitioners, Faux said it did not have a rigorous system to interrogate claims. “As soon as they have a TAC number, it is open slather,” said Faux, who runs a company that processes medical bills for doctors and hospitals. “They do as many things as they can to these patients because they are cash cows.” A recent hospital patient, who did not receive treatment at the Royal Melbourne, contacted The Age after reading about the claims and agreed that the system was open to “all kinds of manipulation”. The Victorian resident, who requested anonymity, said that after managing to check their surgery item numbers, they were surprised by how many there were. “What other business transaction can be made without the receiver seeing an account?” A Royal Melbourne Hospital spokesperson said the health service upheld strict governance and was proud to deliver exceptional care. Both IBAC and the TAC have said it would be inappropriate to comment on an any investigation. The TAC finalised 14 prosecutions last financial year, resulting in $484,124 in restitution payments for the public insurer. Thirty warning letters were sent over the same period in cases that did not meet the prosecution threshold.

Bombers GM Walters sees no need to blow up roster despite another Grey Cup lossThen Paige Greco busted a move in 3-on-3 overtime to give the Union women’s hockey team a 3-2 win over RPI. Replicating a stickhandle/shot sequence she had been working on in practice for two weeks, Greco beat RPI goalie Reese Keating at 3:39 on a play that started with a tough save by Sophie Matsoukas at the other end and advanced on a lead pass from Ashley Adams to Greco for an undefended shot from the left circle on the rush. “I’ve been really honing down on this one move, and it came to life today,” the senior from Burlington, Ontario, said. “The second I saw that puck get chipped to me, I knew right away that I was going to do it.” The Garnet Chargers improved to 4-3-0 for 12 points in ECAC Hockey, 7-9-0 overall, and avoiding a split of three points with the Engineers (2-4-1, 8-7-2), who came back from a 2-0 deficit and killed a two-minute minor penalty with 2:05 left in the third period to get to overtime. Also, Union won at Houston Field House for just the third time in 27 games all-time. Union carried the play in the first 10 minutes of regulation, scoring twice on long possessions down low with a grinding forecheck. On the first goal, Mikayla Blomquist pitched forward to the ice while crossing the blueline on the right wing, and in doing so, she blocked a clearing attempt. She subsequently helped Union maintain possession and pressure on the RPI goalmouth, and after two shot attempts from in close, she flipped a backhand over Keating’s left shoulder to make it 1-0 at 2:54. Union’s second goal also came from solid puck possession around the RPI net, and Maren Friday got it in the right circle and had time to slide to her left into the slot for a wrist shot off the right post for a 2-0 lead at 8:42. RPI got one back quickly when Aylah Cioffi scored at 10:26 to get within 2-1. “We’ve been working on our O-zone stuff trying to get on teams quicker, create those turnovers low so that we can have some of those quicker plays down low,” Union head coach Tony Maci said. “They did a pretty good job of stretching us out after the first 10 minutes and getting us out of our comfort zone.” “Union played really well,” RPI head coach Bryan Vines said. “They played with great pace and put us under pressure with their forecheck. We fed into that a little bit early in the game, but were able to adjust as the game went on. Then it was a back-and-forth, grinding rivalry type of game that you’d expect.” The best scoring chance of the second period came just as the period was ending, on a partial breakaway by the Garnet Chargers’ Maddie Leaney, who was thwarted by RPI captain Taylor Larsen with a nifty stick check from behind as Leaney tried to shoot. The Engineers wasted no time tying it in the third. Morgann Skoda got behind the defense on the rush and slide the puck under Matsoukas just 59 seconds into the period. “I was proud of our resilience,” Vines said. “It’s not easy going down two-nothing that quickly, especially to your rival, especially in a game like this, where you’ve got a thousand kids in the stands screaming and going crazy, which was great to see. “I like how we settled down. We started managing the puck better and found a way to at least get it to overtime and get a really, really valuable league point.” After Keating made a tough save on Leaney in overtime, Matsoukas matched it at the other end on a high shot by Ellie Kaiser, and Adams was able to use that for a lead pass to Greco. When Greco got close to Keating, she dragged the puck to her right, then flipped a shot over Keating’s right shoulder for the game-winner. “It’s hard in OT. It’s only 3-on-3, so there’s people flying everywhere,” Matsoukas said. “The girl kind of opened up and came down for a shot, so I tried to challenge her as much as I could, and then she shot high, so it kind of went off my neck and went up. “Then Ash beat her to it for the breakaway, and we scored.” “Ash made a nice chip to me, and I’ve been practicing this move for awhile in practice and in some shootouts we’ve been doing,” Greco said. “I knew when I got the puck that I was going to pull and go short side high. “So it was a really exciting moment, and I’ve been waiting to get a goal like this for awhile. I only have one goal this year, so I’ve really been waiting for a moment like this.” “We know that our skill sessions are going to kind of replicate themselves in games,” Maci said. “For it to actually come to fruition maybe a day or two after she actually was doing it all the time speaks volumes to the effort she’s putting in.” The loss for the Engineers was compounded by the fact that their captain was injured 55 seconds before Greco scored. Larsen went down in the corner of RPI’s defensive end and eventually was helped off the ice without putting weight on her right skate. “It’s an unfortunate part of our game,” Vines said. “It was just kind of a nothing play. She got tangled up a little bit. It’s never easy to see your captain go down, especially in a big moment, 3-on-3 against your crosstown rival. We’ll hope for the best moving into Sunday against Assumption.” Union 2 0 0 1 — 3 RPI 1 0 1 0 — 2 First period — 1, Union, Blomquist 2 (Mauracher), 2:54. 2, Union, Friday 4 (Bourque, Mauracher), 8:42. 3, RPI, Cioffi 6 (Bailey), 10:26.

The NASA project NEOWISE, which has given astronomers a detailed view of near-Earth objects – some of which could strike the Earth – ended its mission and burned on reentering the atmosphere after over a decade. On a clear night, the sky is full of bright objects – from stars, large planets, and galaxies to tiny asteroids flying near Earth. These asteroids are commonly known as near-Earth objects , and they come in a wide variety of sizes. Some are tens of kilometers across or larger, while others are only tens of meters or smaller. On occasion, near-Earth objects smash into Earth at a high speed – roughly 10 miles per second (16 kilometers per second) or faster. That’s about 15 times as fast as a rifle’s muzzle speed. An impact at that speed can easily damage the planet’s surface and anything on it. Impacts from large near-Earth objects are generally rare over a typical human lifetime. But they’re more frequent on a geological timescale of millions to billions of years. The best example may be a 6-mile-wide (10-kilometer-wide) asteroid that crashed into Earth, killed the dinosaurs, and created the Chicxulub crater about 65 million years ago . Smaller impacts are very common on Earth, as there are more small near-Earth objects. An international community effort called planetary defense protects humans from these space intruders by cataloging and monitoring as many near-Earth objects as possible, including those closely approaching Earth. Researchers call the near-Earth objects that could collide with the surface potentially hazardous objects . NASA began its NEOWISE mission in December 2013. This mission’s primary focus was to use the space telescope from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer to closely detect and characterize near-Earth objects such as asteroids and comets. NEOWISE contributed to planetary defense efforts with its research to catalog near-Earth objects. Over the past decade, it helped planetary defenders like us and our colleagues study near-Earth objects. Detecting Near-Earth Objects NEOWISE was a game-changing mission, as it revolutionized how to survey near-Earth objects. The NEOWISE mission continued to use the spacecraft from NASA’s WISE mission , which ran from late 2009 to 2011 and conducted an all-sky infrared survey to detect not only near-Earth objects but also distant objects such as galaxies. The spacecraft orbited Earth from north to south, passing over the poles, and it was in a Sun-synchronous orbit , where it could see the Sun in the same direction over time. This position allowed it to scan all of the sky efficiently. The spacecraft could survey astronomical and planetary objects by detecting the signatures they emitted in the mid-infrared range. Humans’ eyes can sense visible light , which is electromagnetic radiation between 400 and 700 nanometers. When we look at stars in the sky with the naked eye, we see their visible light components. However, mid-infrared light contains waves between 3 and 30 micrometers and is invisible to human eyes. When heated, an object stores that heat as thermal energy. Unless the object is thermally insulated, it releases that energy continuously as electromagnetic energy in the mid-infrared range. This process, known as thermal emission , happens to near-Earth objects after the Sun heats them up. The smaller an asteroid, the fainter its thermal emission. The NEOWISE spacecraft could sense thermal emissions from near-Earth objects at a high level of sensitivity – meaning it could detect small asteroids. But asteroids aren’t the only objects that emit heat. The spacecraft’s sensors could pick up heat emissions from other sources, too – including the spacecraft itself. To make sure heat from the spacecraft wasn’t hindering the search, the WISE/NEOWISE spacecraft was designed so that it could actively cool itself using then-state-of-the-art solid hydrogen cryogenic cooling systems . Operation Phases Since the spacecraft’s equipment needed to be very sensitive to detect faraway objects for WISE, it used solid hydrogen, which is extremely cold, to cool itself down and avoid any noise that could mess with the instruments’ sensitivity. Eventually, the coolant ran out, but not until WISE had successfully completed its science goals. During the cryogenic phase , when it was actively cooling itself, the spacecraft operated at a temperature of about -447 degrees Fahrenheit (-266 degrees Celsius), slightly higher than the universe’s temperature, which is about -454 degrees Fahrenheit (-270 degrees Celsius). The cryogenic phase lasted from 2009 to 2011, until the spacecraft went into hibernation in 2011. Following the hibernation period, NASA decided to reactivate the WISE spacecraft under the NEOWISE mission, with a more specialized focus on detecting near-Earth objects, which was still feasible even without the cryogenic cooling. During this reactivation phase , the detectors didn’t need to be quite as sensitive, nor the spacecraft kept as cold as it was during the cryogenic cooling phase, since near-Earth objects are closer than WISE’s faraway targets. The consequence of losing the active cooling was that two long-wave detectors out of the four on board became so hot that they could no longer function, limiting the craft’s capability. Nevertheless, NEOWISE used its two operational detectors to continuously monitor both previously and newly detected near-Earth objects in detail . NEOWISE’s Legacy As of February 2024 , NEOWISE had taken more than 1.5 million infrared measurements of about 44,000 different objects in the solar system. These included about 1,600 discoveries of near-Earth objects. NEOWISE also provided detailed size estimates for more than 1,800 near-Earth objects. Despite the mission’s contributions to science and planetary defense, it was decommissioned in August 2024. The spacecraft eventually started to fall toward Earth’s surface until it reentered Earth’s atmosphere and burned up on Nov. 1, 2024. NEOWISE’s contributions to hunting near-Earth objects gave scientists much deeper insights into the asteroids around Earth. It also gave scientists a better idea of what challenges they’ll need to overcome to detect faint objects. So, did NEOWISE find all the near-Earth objects? The answer is no. Most scientists still believe that there are far more near-Earth objects out there that still need to be identified, particularly smaller ones. To carry on NEOWISE’s legacy, NASA is planning a mission called NEO Surveyor . NEO Surveyor will be a next-generation space telescope that can study small near-Earth asteroids in more detail, mainly to contribute to NASA’s planetary defense efforts. It will identify hundreds of thousands of near-Earth objects that are as small as about 33 feet (10 meters) across. The spacecraft’s launch is scheduled for 2027.
