Astronuclear Physics with Short-Lived Isotopes

Abstract

A revolution in nuclear physics is underway. If you know hadron physics you also know that it will last long, as most past developments in nuclear physics have shown. It will take many decades of dedicated efforts of theorists and experimentalists to give astronomers, cosmologists and stellar modelers what they need for the accuracy required in the description and modeling of many cosmic phenomena of interest. In this contribution I review a small number of examples of the utmost relevance for the nuclear in the astro and in particular the humongous importance of the new area of astronuclear physics studied in radioactive beam facilities.
