This book deals with the interdisciplinary areas of nuclear
physics, supernovae and neutron star physics. It addresses the
physics and astrophysics of the spectacular supernova explosions,
starting with the collapse of massive stars and ending with the
birth of neutron stars or black holes. Recent progress in the
understanding of core collapse supernova (CCSN) and observational
aspects of future detections of neutrinos from CCSN explosions are
discussed. The other main focus in this text is the novel phases of
dense nuclear matter, its compositions and equation of state (EoS)
from low to very high baryon density relevant to supernovae and
neutron stars. The multi-messenger astrophysics of binary neutron
star merger GW170817 and its relation to EoS through tidal
deformability are also presented in detail. The synthesis of
elements heavier than iron in the supernova and neutron star
environment by the rapid (r)-process are treated here with special
emphasis on the nucleosynthesis in the ejected material from
GW170817. This monograph is written for graduate students and
researchers in the field of nuclear astrophysics.
