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 …

The nuclear structure in the 100Sn region is reviewed. State-of-the-art experimental
techniques involving stable and radioactive beam facilities have enabled access to exotic …

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 shell structure of atomic nuclei is associated with 'magic numbers' and originates in the
nearly independent motion of neutrons and protons in a mean potential generated by all …

Abstract The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State
University (MSU) is a scientific user facility that offers beams of rare isotopes at a wide range …

Type I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear explosions that occur in the envelopes of accreting
neutron stars. Detailed observations of these phenomena have prompted numerous studies …

Nuclear astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which
seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the …

Now 50 years since the existence of the neutron star crust was proposed, we review the
current understanding of the nuclear physics of the outer layers of accreting neutron stars …

The idea to document the discovery of all isotopes was not an ad hoc decision, but it
developed over several years. In 2003, I was asked to write a review article about the drip …

New physics opportunities are opening up by the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array, AGATA,
as it evolves to the full 4 π π instrument. AGATA is a high-resolution γ γ-ray spectrometer …
