Today's lecture is really mostly a pep talk and a victory lap celebrating nuclear astrophysics, but at the end we do start to look at the most central data:  solar system abundances.

Lecture slides:  {{:bdfields_talent1.pdf|The Cosmic History of Baryonic Matter}}


Some relevant material appears in courses I have taught at Illinois, including:

  * [[http://courses.atlas.illinois.edu/spring2014/ASTR/ASTR507/ | Physical Cosmology]]
