We are excited to announce that the 2022 JINA-CEE Frontiers in Nuclear Astrophysics Meeting will take place on May 25-27, 2022 in South Bend, Indiana. Frontiers 2022 will also bring the IReNA community together in person for the first time.

Title: The CNO cycle and the CNO Neutrinos in our Sun

Title: Explosive nucleosynthesis with stored, radioactive ions

The Focus Area 1 (FA1) of the International Research Network for Nuclear Astrophysics (IReNA) is concerned with the determination of nuclear reaction rates of critical astrophysical importance in the laboratory using a broad range of experimental approaches, including heavy ion storage rings, deep underground laboratories, intense photon beams, neutron beams, and recoil separators at stable and rare isotope accelerator facilities.

Title: Probing the Dense-Matter Equation of State with Neutron Star Mergers

2pm Eastern Time / 7 pm CET. Host: Matt Caplan, Illinois State University

Title: Strangeness in the laboratory and stars

We announce that the 17th Russbach School on Nuclear Astrophysics will again take place at the village of Rußbach am Paß Gschütt, southeast of Salzburg, Austria. The school dates will be from March 13 (arrival and registration) to March 19 (departure) 2022.

Title: Nuclear Astrophysics with DRAGON

Abstract:

Title: Gravitational Laboratories for Nuclear Physics

This JINA-INT workshop will bring together researchers working on topics related to the thermal evolution of neutron stars, and transient and burst phenomena hosted by accreting and magnetized neutron stars.  

The hybrid meeting will involve a small group of in-person attendees at the Institute for Nuclear Theory at the University of Washington, and online participants from around the world. 

Title: Radioactive Nuclides in Outer Space

Abstract: Nuclear astrophysics is generally the study of the energy generation in stars and the origins of the chemical elements. In this highly multidisciplinary field, the job of experimental nuclear physicists is to constrain the nuclear reaction rates which are linked with astronomical observables. Observation of the lightest chemical element with no stable isotopes, technetium, in stellar spectra, was the first evidence that nucleosynthesis is an on-going process in our Galaxy.

The mission of CUWiP is to encourage undergraduate women to persist or start a career in physics by proving them with the opportunity to learn about career paths in physics, experience a professional conference, and discuss challenges and concerns. This conference was initiated in 2006 and research data indicate that CUWiP is effective in meeting its goals. It is being supported by in part from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.

Title: Stellar Archaeology as a Time Machine to the First Stars

Title : Non-standard neutron capture processes in massive and AGB stars

Title: Multi-dimensional modelling of heat flow and type I X-ray bursts on the surface of accreting neutron stars

Title: Some Open Questions Related to the Nucleosynthesis of the Heavy Elements

Jorge Piekarewicz

Abstract:

Title: Exploring Axion-like Particles with Nearby Supernovae

Our main goal is to connect researchers interested in the origin of isotopes working on presolar grain measurements, stellar chemical abundances, nucleosynthesis, and galactic chemical evolution to understand the origin of the isotopes. This will be a short two-half-day online workshop consisting of invited presentations. We will then organize a series of open online discussion sessions over the rest of the year on focused topics.

Nuclei in the Cosmos is the most important international meeting in the field of nuclear astrophysics. It brings together nuclear experimentalists, nuclear theorists, astronomers, theoretical astrophysicists, cosmo-chemists, and others interested in the scientific questions at the interface of nuclear physics and astrophysics. These questions concern, for example, the origin of the elements in the cosmos and the nuclear reactions that occur in the big bang, in stars, and in stellar explosions.
