Too much star formation, not enough stellar mass: a cosmic conundrum

Too much star formation, not enough stellar mass: a cosmic conundrum

by Christopher Lovell | Apr 10, 2018 | Daily Paper Summaries

Observations of galaxies in the early universe reveal too much star formation to account for the number of stars around today. What gives? Today’s ‘bite investigates.

Extinction events from giant space explosions: a cosmological perspective

by Christopher Lovell | Nov 27, 2017 | Daily Paper Summaries

Supernovae and Gamma Ray Bursts are expected to wipe out any complex life in the neighborhood. Today’s paper looks at how common these events are in different galaxies over time.
