Abstract
In the 1960s, novel and increasingly powerful observational techniques opened up the field of high-energy astrophysics. Cosmology started to become an empirical science, and there was a resurgence in the study of general relativity. Martin Rees became a ...Read More

Recent observations of (6)Li in metal poor stars suggest a large production of this isotope during big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). In standard BBN calculations, the (2)H(α,γ)(6)...
The Deuterium Abundance toward QSO 1009+2956
We present a measurement of the deuterium to hydrogen ratio (D/H) in a metal-poor absorption system at redshift $z=2.504$ towards the QSO 1009+2956. We apply the new method of B...
