The LUNA (Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics) experiment is located at the LNGS (Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso) in Italy. LUNA is aimed at studying the nuclear reactions that are responsible for the synthesis of the elements and shape the life of stars in the universe. The reduction of the cosmic-rays induced background provided by the 1400 m thick rock overburden at LNGS allows the direct measurement of the cross section in the energy range relevant to astrophysics.

The groundwork for stellar nucleosynthesis was established over 70 years ago, marking the beginning of a fascinating journey. Since then, substantial progress has unfolded on both theoretical and observational fronts. On the theoretical side, intricate models of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis have evolved, utilising increasingly precise nuclear data. Simultaneously, the observational realm has witnessed a significant rise in the number of stars analysed.

MICRA, which stands for Microphysics In Computational Relativistic Astrophysics, is a workshop focused on improving, discussing, and addressing the microphysics needs of relativistic simulations of astrophysical systems, such as core-collapse supernovae, compact object mergers, and gamma-ray bursts, by bringing together nuclear and neutrino theorists and experimentalists, astrophysicists and computational modelers. 

The scientific programme of the BRIDGCE UK Network meeting is designed to address significant questions in galactic chemical evolution and nucleosynthesis. The meeting provides a unique platform for scientists from diverse backgrounds to exchange ideas, share expertise, explore new avenues of research, and is open to all scientists working in these areas.

Please find below some important information regarding the meeting:

• Deadline for abstract submission: August 18, 2023

Hosted by Konkoly Observatory at the Benczúr Hotel, Budapest, Hungary from Monday, August 28 2023 through Friday, September 1, 2023. 

The 1st IReNA-Ukakuren Joint Workshop “Advancing Professional Development in Nuclear Astrophysics and Beyond” will take place on August 28th - September 1, 2023, at National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ).

This is the first workshop promoting exchange of human resources between Ukakuren and IReNA, with a core emphasis on professional development of young scientists.

The workshop will cover a wide range of research topics in nuclear astrophysics;

We are happy to announce that "The Taking the Temperature (T3): Workshop on Statistical Nuclear Physics for Astrophysics and Applications"  which was canceled due to the Covid pandemic is rescheduled now to be held from August 14-17, 2023 on the campus of Ohio University, in Athens, Ohio, USA.

The IReNA Workshop on Weak Interactions in Nuclear Astrophysics will be held at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, MI USA.

The workshop’s goal is to bring together researchers in both experiment and theory and from basic and applied fields, who utilize R-matrix techniques in their research. The workshop aims to address the latest developments in R-matrix theory, its application in interpreting experimental data, and its use in data evaluation.

In the context of our annual NuGrid collaboration meeting, we are hosting a half-day event with nuclear astrophysics talks, experimental and theoretical, open to the wider community. Our goal is to showcase recent results from the NuGrid collaboration and establish further connections and collaborations with interested groups.

The workshop on Atomic and Nuclear Quantum Effects Near Threshold will provide the opportunity to discuss quantum effects that affect the cross section of nuclear reactions in low energy accelerator studies and hot plasma environments. 

The workshop will take place at the St. Leonard's Hall of the University of Edinburgh from May 31 - June 2, 2023.

Stellar spectra encode a large amount of physical information, such as a star's mass, temperature, radius, age, distance, velocity field, and detailed elemental composition. Stellar spectroscopy is used not just to study the properties of stars, but also to learn about the history of our Milky Way galaxy, the origin of elements and cosmic nucleosynthesis, the nature of dark matter, and the properties of extrasolar planets. The most common stellar atmosphere models assume Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE).
