The ΛCDM model, or concordance cosmology, as it is often called, is a paradigm at its
maturity. It is clearly able to describe the universe at large scale, even if some issues remain …

The observation of quasars at very high redshift such as Pōniuā'ena is a challenge for
models of supermassive black hole (SMBH) formation. This work presents a study of SMBH …

The nature of the first Pop III stars is still a mystery and the energy distribution of the first
supernovae is completely unexplored. For the first time we account simultaneously for the …

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is commonly assumed to be an invariant probability
density distribution function of initial stellar masses. These initial stellar masses are …

We use state-of-the-art chemical models to track the cosmic evolution of the CNO isotopes in
the interstellar medium of galaxies, yielding powerful constraints on their stellar initial mass …

According to modern theory, galactic evolution is driven by the dynamics of dark matter and
stochastic star formation, but galaxies are observed to be simple systems. The existence of …

The ultrafaint dwarf galaxy Reticulum II was enriched by a single rare and prolific r-process
event. The r-process content of Reticulum II thus provides a unique opportunity to study …

LOSS Revisited. II. The Relative Rates of Different Types of Supernovae Vary between Low-
and High-mass Galaxies - IOPscience This site uses cookies. By continuing to use this site …

This review aims at proposing to the field an overview of the Cusp-core problem, including a
discussion of its advocated solutions, assessing how each can satisfactorily provide a …

The non-detection of zero-metallicity stars in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) can be used to
constrain the initial mass function (IMF) of the first (PopIII) stars by means of a statistical …
