where f(t) is a factor characterizing the decrease of the density with time.

How do we calculate how much H and He is created during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis?
Wikipedia states that regardless of some initial conditions during BBN, it will always be that 74% of the universe is H and 24% of the universe is He, plus or minus a couple percent. How is this determined...
Thanks so much for the help. When beginning this research, I assumed that such data existed for particular stars and not just whole galaxies, since the age of stars in a galaxy can vary significantly. However, since this data doesn't exist for particular stars, only for large galaxies, I'll...
Is there a large database that contains, for many stars, their estimated metallicities as well as their redshifts (or, equivalently, distances from us) and masses?
What I'm trying to do is estimate the chemical abundances at different ages of the universe. If I have the metallicity of a star...
