Abstract
Unique beams of unstable nuclei from the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at
Oak Ridge National Laboratory are being used to measure the thermonuclear reactions
that occur in novae, X-ray bursts, and supernovae. The astrophysical impact of these
measurements is determined by synergistic nuclear data evaluations and element synthesis calculations. Results of recent measurements and explosion simulations are briefly
described, along with future plans and software research tools for the community.
