Primordial Lithium and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis.
Recent determinations of the abundance of the light-element Li in very metal-poor stars show that its intrinsic dispersion is essentially zero and that the random error in the estimated mean Li abundance is negligible. However, a decreasing trend in the Li abundance toward lower metallicity indicates that the primordial abundance of Li can be inferred only after allowing for nucleosynthesis pro...
متن کاملReconnection in the ISM
We discuss the role of ambipolar diffusion for simple reconnection in a partially ionized gas, following the reconnection geometry of Parker and Sweet. When the recombination time is short the mobility and reconnection of the magnetic field is substantially enhanced as matter escapes from the reconnection region via ambipolar diffusion. Our analysis shows that in the interstellar medium it is t...
متن کاملLithium-6 from Solar Flares
By introducing a hitherto ignored Li producing process, due to accelerated He reactions with He, we show that accelerated particle interactions in solar flares produce much more Li than Li. By normalizing our calculations to gamma-ray data we demonstrate that the Li produced in solar flares, combined with photospheric Li, can account for the recently determined solar wind lithium isotopic ratio...
متن کاملLithium in Very Metal-poor Dwarf Stars - Problems for Standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis?
The standard model of primordial nucleosynthesis by the Big Bang as selected by the WMAP-based estimate of the baryon density (Ωbh) predicts an abundance of 7Li that is a factor of three greater than the generally reported abundance for stars on the Spite plateau, and an abundance of 6Li that is about a thousand times less than is found for some stars on the plateau. This review discusses and e...
متن کاملThe ISM in Nearby Galaxies
The SKA will revolutionise the study of the principles underlying Star Formation (SF), resolving interstellar cloud complexes which are the birthplaces of stars and answering such questions as which are the sufficient and necessary conditions for SF to commence. Also, massive SF is intimately related to stellar death. The SKA will be able to study the structure of the ISM at 100 pc resolution o...
