Description

A comparison of the merits of five general theories for the origin of galaxies and large-scale structure in the Universe with 38 observational constraints from extragalactic astronomy produces no clear winner. Two theories, cold dark matter in an inflationary cosmology and baryonic dark matter in a low-density Universe, emerge slightly ahead of the pack. (author)
