AI Thread Summary
The NIC-XVII Symposium on stellar nucleosynthesis will take place from September 17-22, 2023, in Daejeon, South Korea, hosted by the Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies and the Rare Isotope Science Project. This symposium has been a recurring event since 1990, focusing on the origins of elements in the universe and the nuclear reactions involved in their formation. The Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics - Center for the Evolution of the Elements (JINA-CEE) aims to address fundamental questions about element formation and the properties of matter under high density. Key topics include the transition from a primordial three-element universe to a diverse cosmos and the laboratory study of nuclear processes that occurred in the early universe. The symposium will facilitate discussions on the interactions and evolution of these nuclear and astrophysical processes.

I was looking for resources on stellar nucleosynthesis, and I found the following seminar, which has been going on since 1990. The 17th Symposium will be 17-22 Sep, 2023 in Daejeon, South Korea.

Most recently, the International Advisory Committee has chosen NIC-XVII to be hosted in
Daejeon, Korea by the Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS) and the Rare Isotope
Science Project (RISP) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS). The past NIC symposia have
been held in Chengdu (2021, China), Gran Sasso (2018, Italy), Niigata (2016, Japan),
Debrecen (2014, Hungary), Cairns (2012, Australia), Heidelberg (2010, Germany), Mackinac
Island (2008, USA), Geneva (2006, Switzerland), Vancouver (2004, Canada), Fuji-Yoshida
(2002, Japan), Aarhus (2000, Denmark), Volos (1998, Greece), Notre Dame (1996, USA), Gran
Sasso (1994, Italy), Karlsruhe (1992, Germany), and Baden bei Wien (1990, Austria).

The Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics - Center for the Evolution of the Elements (JINA-CEE) is a NSF Physics Frontiers Center that addresses related fundamental questions about the cosmos:

  • Where do the elements come from that make up our world?
  • What are basic properties of matter when compressed to high density?

When tracing our origins back to the Big Bang, the transition from a three element (H, He, Li) Universe, to a chemically diverse cosmos of 82 long-lived elements, stands out in significance.
One goal of JINA-CEE is to explore the open questions surrounding this transition, including:

  • What are the nuclear reactions and stellar environments producing the isotopes in the first billion years and how can we study these processes in the laboratory?
  • What are their individual contributions?
  • How do these nuclear and astrophysical processes interact and evolve as the abundance levels increase?

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
