NEUTRON CAPTURE REACTIONS AND STELLAR EXPLOSIONS
We live in an era where multi-messenger astronomical research is becoming more and more common. This means that we can study the same stellar event using a broad range of instruments; optical, gamma-ray and X-ray telescopes are just a few examples of the capabilities we have. During the last year, a new capability was added, that of gravitational-wave observation. This new addition offers an exciting opportunity for the field of nuclear astrophysics; the possibility of a dire
