Astrophysics is a rapidly growing field, driven by observations from ground and spacebased telescopes, which cover all wavelengths, from radio waves to ultra-high energy gamma rays. Nuclear physics experiments provide critical input parameters, which are important for the interpretation of the obser
Nuclear fusion reactions generate the energies by which stars stabilize during their long lives in hydrostatic equilibrium. In late-stage stellar evolution and during core collapse of massive stars nuclear reactions mediated by the weak force are essential. Finally, a large network of nuclear reacti
We review the Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov mass models of the Brussels-Montreal group and compare their suitability for astrophysical purposes with three other modern mass formulas: the FRDM of MΓΆller et al., the KUTY model of Koura et al., and the Duflo-Zuker 1995 model. In addition to considering the q
