Astrolunch - 31st July

Neil Crighton :
Measuring the cosmological baryon density via the primordial deuterium abundance in quasar absorption lines

In particular I'll be talking about the z=0.7 absorption system that I've been working on and what D/H value (if any) it suggests. I'll also talk about other deuterium detections and other estimates of the baryon density, and how they compare.
