Scientific paper

At the core of contemporary astrophysics is the life cycle of stars; the last 30 years of investigative effort have shed light on two particular phases of stars' life cycle. First, IR astronomy has swept aside the dust obscuration heretofore shrouding the birth of stars, and the IRAS satellite has identified many hundreds of stars in their formation stage. Secondly, the death processes of stars have been studied in nearly all wavebands. The cosmological framework within which these processes develop has also undergone great and subtle elaboration. Radio astronomy has established the existence of a pervasive sea of neutral hydrogen between stars. The abundance of He, deuterium, and Li, although impossible to account for via stellar processes, agrees well with the predictions of the hot big bang model.
