Stellar & Nuclear Astrophysics

The TAP Stellar and Nuclear Astrophysics Initiative brings together researchers developing simulations of many stellar phenomena and the nuclear physics details that drive these potentially transient events. We aim to bridge models with updated and informed experimental nuclear physics efforts to provide state-of-the-art predictions for multi-messenger observational missions.
