The primary focus of this workshop is on the various “evolutions” of neutron stars, exploring the intersection of astrophysics theory and observation, as well as the connections to fundamental microphysics, including nuclear physics.

The goal of this meeting is to discuss the uncertainties in calculating nuclear yields and the work needed to tie astrophysics observations to nuclear physics.  This 2-week meeting will both identify these uncertainties, fleshing out the details, driving further collaborations.  Topics include:

• nuclear cross-sections (including both theory, experiment)

• astrophysical trajectories (temperature, density, composition evolution with time)

The 20th Russbach School on Nuclear Astrophysics will take place in the village of Rußbach am Paß Gschütt, southeast of Salzburg, Austria. The school dates will be from March 16 (arrival and registration) to March 22 (departure) 2025.

The IReNA-CeNAM conference provides an engaging platform for researchers in nuclear physics and astrophysics to share their work, participate in professional development, and foster meaningful, lasting collaborations.

The Nuclei in the Cosmos School will take place from June 9-13, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain.

The Nuclei in the Cosmos XVIII Conference will take place from June 15-20, 2025 in Girona, Spain.
