Nuclear physics is an indispensable input for the investigation of high energy astrophysical phenomena involving compact objects. In this paper I take a gravitational collapse of massive stars as an example and show how the macroscopic dynamics is influenced by the properties of nuclei and nuclear matter. I will discuss two topics that are rather independent of each other. The first one is the interplay of neutrino-nuclei inelastic scatterings and the standing accretion shock instability in the core of core collapse supernovae and the second is concerning the neutrino emissions from black hole formations and their dependence on the equation of state at very high densities. In the latter, I will also demonstrate that future astronomical observations might provide us with valuable information on the equation of state of hot dense matter.

Large Effort

Beyond iron, a small fraction of the total abundances in the Solar System is made of proton-rich isotopes, the [Formula: see text]-nuclei. The clear understanding of their production is a fundamental challenge for nuclear astrophysics. The [Formula: see text]-nuclei constrain the nucleosynthesis in core-collapse and thermonuclear supernovae. The [Formula: see text]-process is the most established scenario for the production of the [Formula: see text]-nuclei, which are produced via different photodisintegration paths starting on heavier nuclei. A large effort from nuclear physics is needed to access the relevant nuclear reaction rates far from the valley of stability. This review describes the production of the heavy proton-rich isotopes by the [Formula: see text]-process in stars, and explores the state of the art of experimental nuclear physics to provide nuclear data for stellar nucleosynthesis.
