Nuclear astrophysics with NuGrid

1200 FRIB Laboratory

Abstract:  The NuGrid international collaboration maintain and develop a research framework where scientists from different disciplines work together to study the production of elements in stars, and how these elements evolve in galaxies. Nuclear physics and astronomy, stellar astrophysics and galactic chemical evolution can be used together to answer open questions about old stars, about the solar composition or about observed abundance signatures that are anomalous with respect to the Sun. In this talk I will provide an overview of the NuGrid research activity in the past year. I will summarize our recent results about supernovae, low mass and massive stars, old and young stars, presolar stellar dust, explosive nucleosynthesis, and nucleosynthesis processes such as the i, s, and , p process.
