New Features in the Computational Infrastructure for Nuclear Astrophysics

ORAL

Abstract

The {\bf Computational Infrastructure for Nuclear Astrophysics} is a suite of computer codes online at {\bf nucastrodata.org} that streamlines the incorporation of recent nuclear physics results into astrophysical simulations. The freely-available, cross- platform suite enables users to upload cross sections and s-factors, convert them into reaction rates, parameterize the rates, store the rates in customizable libraries, setup and run custom post-processing element synthesis calculations, and visualize the results. New features include the ability for users to comment on rates or libraries using an email-type interface, a nuclear mass model evaluator, enhanced techniques for rate parameterization, better treatment of rate inverses, and creation and exporting of custom animations of simulation results. We also have online animations of r- process, rp-process, and neutrino-p process element synthesis occurring in stellar explosions.
