Number of Stars in Universe as f(age of universe)?
Using the currently observable universe, how many stars have existed as
a function of age of the universe? ie, at universe age 0.721 Gyr, 1.721 Gyr....to present 13.721 Gyr, how many stars existed within the region of the universe we are able to see today? Today I have read that there are ~100E9 galaxies and ~100E9 stars per galaxy, so that's 1.0E22 stars today. Is there a figure for the number of stars that were born as a function of age of the universe? (per Mpc^3 is fine too). Thanks, rt |

So even if there were a constant number of stars per co-moving volume, we would see more and more as time goes on. But OK, you specified the CURRENTLY observable universe. This is essentially the Madau diagramme which I mentioned in a previous post. I found https://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/...s/figure11.jpg But when I plugged in the peak value, it was 2.0E21, about 10x too low. rt |
