Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling laws in the distribution of galaxies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the history of how we have learned about the structure of the universe and present the data and methodologies that are relevant to an understanding of any scaling properties that structure may have.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distance to the crab nebula and np 0532
TL;DR: In this article, twelve lines of evidence bearing on the determination of the distance to the Crab nebula and NP 0532 are discussed, including the dynamics of the nebular expansion, physical processes in the supernova or its remnant, and the nature of the intervening interstellar medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and abundances of the chemical elements revisited
TL;DR: The basic scheme of nucleosynthesis (building of heavy elements from light ones) has held up very well since it was first proposed more than 30 years ago by E.M. Burbidge, G.R. Cameron, W.A. Fowler, and F.G. Hoyle as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astrophysics in 2002
TL;DR: This has been the Year of the Baryon as mentioned in this paper, which has seen the back of the Sun, a possible solution to the problem of ejection of material by Type II Supernovae, the production of R Coronae Borealis stars (previously owned baryons), and perhaps found the missing satellite galaxies (whose failing is that they have no baryon).
