TL;DR: In this article, the theoretical, computational, observational, and experimental aspects of big bang nucleosynthesis were discussed, as well as the theoretical and experimental properties of the nucleosynthetic process.

TL;DR: The discovery of the Little Cub, an extremely metal-poor star-forming galaxy in the local universe, found in the constellation Ursa Major (a.k.a. the Great Bear) was reported in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the width of a narrow Fe'II absorption line produced by a quiescent gas cloud at redshift z ≃ 2.34, corresponding to a comoving distance of ≃ 5.8 Gpc.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors build a sample of distant (D > 80 kpc) stellar halo stars with measured radial velocities and find that the radial velocity dispersion of these tracers falls rapidly at large distances and is surprisingly cold (sigma r ~ 50-60 km/s) between 100-150 kpc.

TL;DR: There exist a range of exciting scientific opportunities for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) in the coming decade as discussed by the authors, driven by experimental determination of neutrino properties, new nuclear reaction experiments, advancing supercomputing/simulation capabilities, the prospect of high-precision next-generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations, and the advent of 30m class telescopes.
