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?

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...

Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
