Speaker

Description

Accreting neutron stars show a broad range of nuclear physics driven observable phenomena. These include short and long X-ray bursts, superbusrts, possible hyper bursts, absorption features in spectra, and crustal cooling. I will review the open questions as well as the current status and prospects of understanding the underlying nuclear physics. In that context I will present some recent results from measurements at the FRIB radioactive beam facility at Michigan State University.
