Cosmology: Where all the lithium went
Corinne Charbonnel1
Abstract
For some years, astronomers have been trying to track down all the lithium predicted by standard cosmological models. Spectroscopic dissection of globular clusters reveals that the answer might lie in the stars.
Cosmologists have a problem. They have highly precise models of how light elements were synthesized in the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang.
