Session D5 - Recent Developments in Computational Nuclear Physics.
INVITED session, Saturday afternoon, May 01
Governor's Square 14, Adam's Mark Hotel
The collapse of massive stars is believed to be the cause of a number of the most energetic explosions in the universe from supernovae to gamma-ray bursts. Stellar collapse forms nearly all the neutron stars and stellar-massed black holes in the universe and are the dominant contributors to the heavy element abundances in galaxies. They produce gravitational wave and neutrino signals that are detectable for explosions in or near the Milky Way. The last few years has seen considerable progress in our understanding of these events. I will review these different fates, focusing on the progress in recent years.
