Abstract	As documented in the National Academies' 2020 astronomy decadal survey report, harassment and discrimination continue to be problems in astronomical employment and educational settings. In order to document the types of harassment and discrimination in astronomy and the context in which these behaviors occur, this report describes an analysis of qualitative data from the Longitudinal Study of Astronomy Graduate Students (2007-16). The survey was conducted by the Statistical Research Center at the American Institute of Physics, in partnership with the American Astronomical Society Demographics Committee. Many of the experiences of harassment described by respondents were based on gender, but some were based on other statuses such as race. The analysis revealed the following four types of harassment and discrimination: (1) biased assumptions that were communicated to the respondents regarding their status, career, and personal life; (2) verbal put downs in the form of jokes, criticisms, and undermining comments; (3) demographic-based inequitable treatment that limited their social support and professional development; and (4) unwanted sexual attention, ranging from inappropriate comments to more serious behaviors such as threats, stalking, and assault. This report describes the context around these experiences, specifically, respondents' relationship with the people who harassed or discriminated against them, the locations of the incidents, and respondents' reactions to the harassment and discrimination.
