The Monoceros R2 region was first recognized as a chain of reflection nebulae illuminated by Aand B-type stars. These nebulae are associated with a giant molecular cloud that is one of the closest massive star forming regions to the Sun. This chapter reviews the properties of the Mon R2 region, including the namesake reflection nebulae, the large scale molecular cloud, global star formation act...

The conventional Friedmann cosmology is known to be in tension with the existence of stable particles having interaction strength typical for supersymmetry and heavier than several TeV. A possible way save life such may a modification standard cosmological expansion law that density these heavy relics would significantly reduced. We study particle creation Starobinsky inflationary model differe...
