Observation of gravitational waves (GWs), gamma-rays, x-rays, optical, infrared and radio waves from a neutron star (NS) merger event, now called GW170817, has the potential to revolutionize nuclear astrophysics. Data from this event has already provided strong hints that heavy elements are produced in NS mergers, and that these elements directly influence the observed optical and infra-red light curves. Properties of dense matter which was expected to play a key role also appear to be essential in interpreting the GW data. 

Watch nuclear scientists as they discuss the impact of the LIGO/VIRGO neutron star merger discovery and followup observations on nuclear science and nuclear astrophysics.

This workshop will assemble leading experts from stellar evolution, star formation, accretion physics, and cosmology, in order to shed new light on the origin, evolution, and collapse of supermassive stars, as well as their life after death as the progenitors of the first massive quasars.

We would like to invite you to participate in the Celebration of CEMP & Gala of GALAH workshop to be held on November 13-17, 2017, at the Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. 

The meeting will consider two broad themes: 
 

MICRA 2017 will be an interdisciplinary workshop aimed at fostering exchange between nuclear (astro-)physicists and computational modelers of relativistic astrophysical phenomena, such as the mergers of neutron star and core-collapse supernovae. A major goal of the workshop series is to foster efforts to include increasingly realistic microphysics in simulations so that we can confidently interpret multi-messenger observations of high density environments.

This is the 6th of the series of biennial workshops dedicated to nucleosynthesis of heavy neutron-deficient nuclei. The workshop covers a wide range of topics related to p-nuclei:

From Nuclei to the Cosmic Web strengthens interactions amongst the astrophysics and nuclear physics communities to facilitate scientific understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies.

The NuGrid collaboration meeting 2017 will be hosted by JINA-CEE and be held at NSCL in East Lansing June 19—25.

The Nucleosynthesis Grid (NuGrid) project develops and maintains tools for large scale post-processing nucleosynthesis simulations and includes 24 senior investigators, and 33 younger scientists including students and postdocs from 21 institutions in North America, Europe and Australia.

Dear Nuclear Astrophysics Colleague,
 
We would like to invite you to participate in the JINA-CEE Frontiers in Nuclear Astrophysics Meeting to be held on February 7-9, 2017 at the Radisson Hotel, 111 N Grand Ave, Lansing, MI 48933.
 

We would like to invite you to participate in the Joint CNA (Center for Nuclear Astrophysics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University) and JINA-CEE (The Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics - Center for the Evolution of the Elements) Winter School on  Nuclear Astrophysics to be held onDecember 12-17, 2016, at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, China.

We will be holding a JINA-CEE/TRIUMF Satellite Workshop on Recoil Separators for Nuclear Astrophysics on Tues 11th and Wed 12th October, 2016, at the TRIUMF laboratory in Vancouver, Canada.

The Workshop is funded by JINA-CEE and TRIUMF.

The focus of the school will be the understanding and application of nuclear reaction networks to astrophysical models for systems such as novae, x-ray bursts (rp-process) and neutron star mergers (r-process). The reaction network employed will be the public NucNet code published by Prof. Bradley Meyer, of Clemson University.

The Torino Workshops series started in Torino in 1995 and 11 workshops have been held so far in different parts of the world. The 12th workshop will be held jointly with the biannual CSFK Astromineralogy Workshop IV, which started in Budapest in 2010.

We would like to invite you to participate in a JINA-CEE sponsored workshop on all things R-matrix that will be held June 27 to July 1, 2016, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.
 

The NIC School will take place at Niigata University, about 10 km from the NIC-XIV Symposium site from 13-17 June 2016, preceding the NIC-XIV Symposium. Lectures, presented by internationally recognized experts, will cover various areas of research in nuclear astrophysics, from theories to experiments and observations.
