The main lines of research within the department are:

• structure and decays of neutron-rich nuclei
• astrophysical reaction rates
• stellar evolution and cosmic explosions
• heavy element nucleosynthesis
• equation of state
• compact binary mergers and supernovae
• hydrodynamical simulations, neutrino transport, radiative transfer
• gravitational waves
• electromagnetic transients (kilonovae) and multimessenger astrophysics

We offer opportunities for master and PhD students!
