We present a theoretical model embedding the essential physics of early galaxy formation (z ' 5 − 12) based on the single premise that any galaxy can form stars with a maximal limiting efficiency that provides enough energy to expel all the remaining gas, quenching further star formation. This simpl ...

... Chondrites are meteorites that contain millimeter-sized objects called chondrules. In the 1960s and 70s, there was great hope that chondrules formed directly from the cloud of gas and dust that surrounded the Sun as it was still forming. The intellectual battle was between direct condensation from t ...
