Star formation beyond z=0 and its role in the multiverse

The cosmological constant is accountable for the accelerated expansion of our Universe. Observational data have provided a tight constraint on the cosmic star formation history from z = 8 to the present. What happens to the star formation rate beyond z=0? I will discuss the star formation rates, along with the properties of the intergalactic mediumfrom our suite of simulations into the future. Since Lambda becomes dominant in the future of our universe, I further simulate counter-factual universes to assign anthropic weights to each universe within the multiverse setting. I will argue that using the asymptotic star formation efficiency as weights, we almost double previous estimates of observers living in universes similar to ours. The expected value of the energy density of Lambda is also closer to the observed value. I will also discuss potential future works to improve the applicability of the anthropic reasoning of the cosmological constant.
