The BABAR Collaboration at SLAC continues to produce a wide variety of publications on interesting and unique topics despite having ceased data-collection operations more than 10 years ago. Presented here are the results of three recent studies. The first is on the direct measurement of the B± → K± X(3872) branching fraction, allowing the first determination of the branching fractions of the exotic X(3872) charmonium state. The second is a publication on the first observation of the D0 → K−π+e+e− branching fraction. The third is on searches for lepton flavor and lepton number violating decays in D0 meson decays, resulting in improvements over existing limits by factors that vary from 20 to almost 800 depending on the D0 decay channel.
