Cosmic Star-Formation History [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014 Over the past two decades, an avalanche of new data from multiwavelength imaging and spectroscopic surveys has revolutionized our view of galaxy formation and evolution. Here we review the range of complementary techniques and theoretical tools that allow astronomers to map the cosmic history of star formation, heavy element production, and ...

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2007 We review current understanding of star formation, outlining an overall theoretical framework and the observations that motivate it. A conception of star formation has emerged in which turbulence plays a dual role, both creating overdensities to initiate gravitational contraction or collapse, and countering the effects of gravity in these overdense ...

Impact Induced Oxidation and Its Implications for Early Mars Climate
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 H2 in a CO2 atmosphere may serve as a potential solution to the early Mars climate paradox, but its unknown sources cast doubts on the proposed mechanism. Impact cratering is an energetic process that may modify the surface redox budget.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present a U-corrected Pb–Pb age of 4566.19 ± 0.20 Ma (1.11 ± 0.26 Myr after t _0 ) for the moderately volatile element rich, andesitic meteorite Erg Chech 002 (EC002). Our Al–Mg isochron defines a ^26 Al/ ^27 Al initial ratio of (8.65 ± 0.09) × 10 ^−6

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In protostellar cores, sulfur species are effective probes for the energetic environments, such as shocked regions. With the majority of sulfur depleted on dust grains, sulfur-bearing molecules could be liberated back to gas phase by shocks associated ...

Modeling Two First Hydrostatic Core Candidates Barnard 1b-N and 1b-S
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 A first hydrostatic core (FHC) is proposed to form after the initial collapse of a prestellar core, as a seed of a Class 0 protostar. FHCs are difficult to observe because they are small, compact, embedded, and short lived.

Triple Spiral Arms of a Triple Protostar System Imaged in Molecular Lines
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Most stars form in multiple-star systems. For a better understanding of their formation processes, it is important to resolve the individual protostellar components and the surrounding envelope and disk material at the earliest possible formation epoch ...

One, Two, Three ... An Explosive Outflow in IRAS 12326-6245 Revealed by ALMA
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 In the last years there has been a substantial increase in the number of the reported massive and luminous star-forming regions with related explosive outflows thanks to the superb sensitivity and angular resolution provided by the new radio, infrared ...

Young Stellar Object Candidates in IC 417
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 IC 417 is in the Galactic plane, and likely part of the Aur OB2 association; it is ∼2 kpc away. Stock 8 is one of the densest cluster constituents; off of it to the east, there is a “nebulous stream” (NS) that is dramatic in the infrared (IR).
