Primordial nucleosynthesis after embryonic inflation, the subject of Chapter 6, yields spatially varying abundances of elements, including heavy elements in all the densest cosmic regions. The theory ...

The Friedman equation. The age of the universe. Cosmic microwave radiation. Radiation and Matter Eras. Primordial nucleosynthesis. Baryogenesis and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.

Which stars form which elements, and how those elements form, is what stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis aims to understand. Stellar evolution looks at how stars change their structure and ...
