abstract
Based on observations of HII regions and the new computations of the recombination coefficients of the He I lines by Porter et al. (2013) we obtain a primordial helium abundance by mass of $Y_P = 0.2446\pm0.0029$. We consider thirteen sources of error for the $Y_P$ determination, some of them are mainly due to systematic effects, while the rest are mainly due to statistical effects. We compare our results with other determinations of $Y_P$ present in the literature. Combining our $Y_P$ value with computations of primordial nucleosynthesis we find a number of neutrino species $N_{eff} = 2.90\pm0.22$, and a neutron mean life $\tau_{\nu} = 872\pm14(s)$.

The AURORA Survey: Robust Helium Abundances at High Redshift Reveal A Subpopulation of Helium-Enhanced Galaxies in the Early Universe
JWST spectra of 20 high-redshift galaxies provide the first robust helium abundances at z=1.6-3.3 and reveal a subpopulation of four galaxies with elevated helium but normal nitrogen and alpha-element abundances.

EMPRESS. XV. A New Determination of the Primordial Helium Abundance Suggesting a Moderately Low $Y_\mathrm{P}$ Value
New Subaru spectroscopy of extremely metal-poor galaxies yields a primordial helium abundance Y_P = 0.2402 ± 0.0040, about 1 sigma below most previous estimates and consistent with ACT CMB data.

Fifty years of primordial helium abundances: A statistical reanalysis
A statistical reanalysis of 143 Y_p determinations from 1960s-2022 reveals long-term convergence with change points in the mid-2000s and early 2010s, plus significant non-independence among many extragalactic H II reg...

Magnetic monopoles and high frequency gravitational waves from quasi-stable strings
SO(10) breaking through flipped SU(5) or Pati-Salam subgroups can produce GUT monopoles from merging monopole-antimonopole pairs, while the intervening quasi-stable strings emit gravitational waves from Hz to kHz.

C-parity, magnetic monopoles and higher frequency gravitational waves
The C-string-wall network from SO(10) breaking with unbroken C-parity produces a gravitational wave background peaking between 100 Hz and 100 kHz for intermediate breaking scales around 10^10 to 10^12 GeV.
