Abstract
GALINDO URIBARRI, Salvador and CERVANTES-COTA, Jorge L.. Nucleosynthesis in the Cosmos: What we think we know and forthcoming questions. Cienc. ergo-sum [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.2, e159. Epub Oct 20, 2023. ISSN 2395-8782. https://doi.org/10.30878/ces.v29n2a4.
We present what we know on nucleosynthesis in the universe and hypotheses that have been made in this regard. A brief description of the universe’s evolution during its different stages is offered, indicating which are the periods and mechanisms of element formation. A critical prospective on future research is formulated to validate, modify, or reject the hypotheses formulated. These will involve joint observations that encompass finer measurements of cosmic background radiation, galaxy clusters, and gravitational waves produced by neutron star collisions. The information thus obtained will be combined with restrictions given by theoretical models. Perhaps many current doubts will be clarified, but new questions will arise.
