Abstract

Stars are the environments for the creation of the elements up to iron and nickel. Beyond that, one needs to have an explosive environment in order to cause the fusion to create the heavier elements. With the very recent discovery of a neutron star merger, we may be on the cusp of identifying such regions. This lecture will cover the nuclear processes from the pp chain through to the r-process, at a (largely) conceptual level, and discuss the important issues regarding Nuclear Astrophysics.
