The growth of a lithium abundance dispersion in pre main sequence stars

R. J. Jackson, R. D. Jeffries, E. Tognelli

Lithium is predicted, and observed, to be depleted in contracting, low-mass pre main sequence (PMS) stars. Yet these stars reach the zero age main sequence (ZAMS) with a spread in…

Black holes in the expanding Universe

Nikodem Popławski

The McVittie metric does not describe a physical black hole in an expanding Universe because the curvature scalar and pressure at its event horizon are infinite. We show that exten…
