Nuclear cross sections, nuclear structure and stellar nucleosynthesis
The role of nuclear reactions (strong, weak and electromagnetic) and nuclear structure effects are discussed in a number of stellar applications. We address fusion cross sections in stellar evolution, neutrino-induced reactions in type II supernovae ...

A study of U Aquarii and the nucleosynthesis of neutrons and S-process elements in evolved stars of low mass [PDF]
The origin of the extreme hydrogen deficiency observed in the R Coronae Borealis (RCrB) stars remains poorly understood. A likely mechanism for producing this deficiency is one whereby the original hydrogen envelope of the star is engulfed and ...

The role of neutrinos in explosive nucleosynthesis in core collapse supernova models with neutrino transport [PDF]
The problem of core collapse supernova explosions is long standing and attempts to understand the mechanism have been ongoing. On one hand, a full understanding of the underlying mechanism is still pending.

Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis
Here we address the phases of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis which are more important in connection to chemical enrichment and galactic chemical evolution. In the following one should keep in mind that the stellar evolution results are influenced by the physics adopted in the models.

Alpha clustering and the stellar nucleosynthesis of carbon [PDF]
The astrophysical S--factor and reaction rates for the triple--alpha process are calculated in the direct--capture model. It is shown that the stellar carbon production is extremely sensitive to small variations in the N--N interaction.

Underground measurement at LUNA found no evidence for a low-energy resonance in the 6Li(p, γ)7Be reaction [PDF]
The 6Li(p,γ)7Be reaction is involved in all three main nucleosynthesis scenarios: Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, the interaction of cosmic rays with interstellar matter, and stellar nucleosynthesis.

The Nuclear Astrophysics program at n_TOF (CERN)
An important experimental program on Nuclear Astrophysics is being carried out at the n_TOF since several years, in order to address the still open issues in stellar and primordial nucleosynthesis.

Among presolar grains, oxide ones are made of oxygen, aluminum, and a small fraction of magnesium, produced by the 26Al decay. The largest part of presolar oxide grains belong to the so-called group 1 and 2, which have been suggested to form in Red Giant

Neutrino treatment in multidimensional astrophysical simulations : a new spectral scheme [PDF]
Neutrinos play a central role in modern physics and astrophysics. Their extremely weak interaction rate with baryons and other leptons makes their detection on the Earth difficult and challenging.

Mixing and Magnetic Fields in Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars in the Framework of FRUITY Models
In the last few years, the modeling of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars has been much investigated, both focusing on nucleosynthesis and stellar evolution aspects. Recent advances in the input physics required for stellar computations made it possible
