We use observations and evolutionary models of local objects to interpret a recent determination of the star-formation history of the universe. By fitting the global star-formation rate, the model predicts the ratio of spheroid to disk mass of ~1, an intergalactic medium (IGM) whose mass is ~2.3 times the mass in stars, and whose metallicity is ~0.1 Z⊙.

From the time the first stars formed over 13 billion years ago to the present, star formation has had an unexpectedly dynamic history. At first, the star-formation rate density increased dramatically, reaching a peak 10 billion years ago of more than 10 times the present-day value. Observations of the initial rise in star formation remain difficult, poorly constraining it. Theoretical modeling has trouble predicting this history because of the difficulty in following the feedback of energy from stellar radiation and supernova explosions into the gas from which further stars form. Observations from the ground and space with the next generation of instruments should reveal the full history of star formation in the universe, and simulations appear poised to accurately predict the observed history.

AbstractTaking advantage of the Gaia DR1, we combined TGAS parallaxes with the Tycho-2 and APASS photometry to calculate the star formation history (SFH) of the solar neighbourhood within 250 pc using the colour-magnitude diagram fitting technique. Our dynamically-evolved SFH is in excellent agreement with that calculated from the Hipparcos catalogue within 80 pc of the Sun, showing an enhanced star formation rate (SFR) in the past ~4 Gyr. We then correct the SFR for the disc thickening with age to obtain a SFR that is representative of the whole solar cylinder, and show that even with an extreme correction our results are not consistent with an exponentially decreasing SFR as found by recent studies. Finally, we discuss how this technique can be applied out to ~5 kpc thanks to the next Gaia data releases, which will allow us to quantify the SFH of the thin disc, thick disc and halo in situ.

Abstract If dark matter decay or annihilate, a large amount of energy and particles would be released into the cosmic plasma. Therefore, they could modify the thermal and ionization history of our universe, then leave footprints on the cosmic microwave background power spectra. In this paper, we take dark matter annihilation as an example and investigate whether different reionization models influence the constraints on dark matter annihilation. We consider the ionization history including both dark matter annihilation and star formation, then put constraints on DM annihilation. Combining the latest Planck data, BAO data, SNIa measurement, Q HII constraints from observations of quasars, as well as the star formation rate density from UV and IR data, the optical depth is τ = 0.0571+0.0005 -0.0006 at 68%C.L. and the upper limit of ϵ0 f d reads 2.7765 × 10-24 at 95%C.L.. By comparison, we also constrain dark matter annihilation in the instantaneous reionization model from the same data combination except the Q HII constraints and star formation rate density. We get τ = 0.0559+0.0069 -0.0076 at 68%C.L. and the upper limit of ϵ0 f d is 2.8468 × 10-24 at 95%C.L.. This indicates various reionization models have little influence (≲ 2.5%) on constraining parameters of dark matter decay or annihilation.
