Over five years ago the groundbreaking gravitational wave event GW170817 provided the first direct proof that neutron star mergers produce heavy elements via rapid neutron capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis. Still, the extent of the element synthesis in this environment and the role of neutron star mergers in contributing to the galactic tally of r-process elements have yet to be clarified....

Deep underground nuclear astrophysics with the LUNA experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory by now has a 30-year history and a long track record of measuring crucial reactions for various nucleosynthesis scenarios, from the Big Bang to p-p and CNO reactions to the production of the heavy elements in the s process.

Aurora Tumino (UKE & INFN-LNS)Nuclear AstrophysicsInvited Oral
I discuss the basic concepts of the Trojan Horse Method in nuclear astrophysics and the opportunity it offers to determine the cross sections of various stellar burning reactions when it is difficult to perform the corresponding direct measurements. I will focus on recent results to investigate carbon burning and primordial nucleosynthesis.
