The determination of the star-formation history of the Universe is a key goal of modern cosmology, as it is crucial to our understanding of how structure in the Universe forms and evolves. A picture has built up over recent years, piece-by-piece, by observing young stars in distant galaxies at different times in the past. These studies indicated that the stellar birthrate peaked some 8 billion years ago, and then declined by a factor of around ten to its present value. Here we report on a new study which obtains the complete star formation history by analysing the fossil record of the stellar populations of 96545 nearby galaxies. Broadly, our results support those derived from high-redshift galaxies elsewhere in the Universe. We find, however, that the peak of star formation was more recent - around 5 billion years ago. Our study also shows that the bigger the stellar mass of the galaxy, the earlier the stars were formed. This striking result indicates a very different formation history for high- and low-mass formation.

COSMOS-Web: Star formation along the early Hubble sequence and the evolution of dust over the redshift range 0<z<12
Stacking of 850-micron data reveals SFR increasing with redshift and declining from irregular to spheroidal galaxies at 2<z<4.5, with a chemical evolution model reproducing the dust-to-stellar mass ratio rise to z~8.

The energy conditions and model selection in the local Universe
Local HII galaxy and cosmic chronometer data favor the Rh=ct universe over ΛCDM at 92% vs 8% likelihood, with Rh=ct satisfying all energy conditions while ΛCDM violates the strong energy condition at z≲2.

Measuring the expansion history of the Universe with cosmic chronometers
A review of the cosmic chronometer method: differential ages of massive passive galaxies yield cosmology-independent H(z) measurements, now at about 5% accuracy at z~0.5 and potentially percent-level H0 with future surveys.
