What is the origin of the oxygen we breathe, the hydrogen and oxygen (in form of water
H2O) in rivers and oceans, the carbon in all organic compounds, the silicon in electronic …

Advances in our understanding and the modeling of stellar core-collapse and supernova
explosions over the past 15 years are reviewed, concentrating on the evolution of …

Atomic nuclei are self-organized, many-body quantum systems bound by strong nuclear
forces within femtometre-scale space. These complex systems manifest a variety of shapes …

We present results from the JINA REACLIB project, an ongoing effort to maintain a current
and accurate library of thermonuclear reaction rates for astrophysical applications. Ongoing …

The decomposition of the Solar system abundances of heavy isotopes into their s-and r-
components plays a key role in our understanding of the corresponding nuclear processes …

X-ray bursts are among the brightest stellar objects frequently observed in the sky by space-
based telescopes. A type-I X-ray burst is understood as a violent thermonuclear explosion …

The mass of the nucleus, through its binding energy, continues to be of capital importance
not only for various aspects of nuclear physics, but also for other branches of physics …

The p-process of stellar nucleosynthesis is aimed at explaining the production of the stable
neutron-deficient nuclides heavier than iron that are observed up to now in the solar system …

The last decades brought impressive progress in synthesizing and studying properties of
nuclides located very far from the beta stability line. Among the most fundamental properties …

Like few other parameters, the mass of an atom, and its inherent connection with the atomic
and nuclear binding energy is a fundamental property, a unique fingerprint of the atomic …
