Stars "missing in action" now counted Almost one in five exploding stars in nearby galaxies is simply not seen, astronomers have determined. For galaxies further out, that fraction doubles. This finding clears the way for these stellar beacons to be used as a good measure of how fast gal...

Title: On the puzzling plateau in the specific star formation rate at z=2-7 Authors: Simone M. Weinmann, Eyal Neistein, Avishai Dekel The observational indications for a constant specific star-formation rate (sSFR) in the redshift range z=2-7 are puzzling in the context of current galaxy-form...
