This process is thought to occur in circumstellar disks of gas and dust around young stars on rather short timescales : infrared surveys show that the number of low mass stars with disks drops dramatically for stars older than 10 Myr, suggesting that in order to form large solids before the disk disperses, the growth process has to take place within a few million years. ...

Gaseous Evolution in Galaxies: The Arecibo Ultra-Deep Survey (AUDS) L. Staveley-Smith1, W. Freudling2, M. Calabretta1, B. Catinella3, W. van Driel4, S. Linder5, R. Minchin5 & E. Momjian3. ... For each galaxy, the maximum accessible volume was calculated and a binned HI mass function was computed using the 1/ V(max) method. Preliminary results suggest a galaxy detection rate which is a factor of 2-3 times higher than expected from the local HI mass function derived from HIPASS (Zwaan et al. ...

Presently, there is little doubt that galactic CR can be generated at rapidly expanding shock fronts produced by supernova explosions. ... Statistical properties of radiopulsars in our Galaxy indicate a formation rate of NS of about 1 per 10-20 years in the present cosmological epoch, while direct astronomical observations have so far not detected supernova explosions at this high rate. ...
