Fission can have an important influence on the termination of the r-process and on
the abundances of long-lived actinides, which are relevant for determinating the
age of the Universe. Fission can also influence the abundances of nuclei in the
region A~90 and 130 due to the fission cycling. In order to quantitatively
understand the fission role in the r process, two important pieces of...

Nuclear theory in astrophysics

Independently of the still unclear explosion mechanism for
core-collapse supernovae there will be matter ejected under strong
neutrino fluxes. Depending of the spectral properties of both
neutrinos and antineutrinos the composition of the matter goes from
proton rich to neutron rich. Current supernova simulations suggest
that the early ejecta is proton rich while at latter times we...

Radioactive nuclei play an important role in many astrophysical phenomena,
particularly in stellar explosions where the rates of nuclear reactions can be much
faster than the lifetimes of most radioactive isotopes. Accelerated beams of
radioactive ions are being used to address uncertainties in some key reaction rates.
We will review recent progress in the field, focusing on results from...
