Q&A: Reevaluating reaction rates to better understand the stars
Thermonuclear reaction rates power the models that explain how stars live, explode and create the elements. A new study co-authored by NC State faculty member Richard Longland provides a comprehensive, statistically grounded reevaluation of these rates, offering a stronger foundation for interpreting astronomical observations and simulating stellar environments.
In a significant advance for astrophysics, new research re-evaluating thermonuclear reaction rates promises to deepen our understanding of stars. Released on March 16, 2026, this study, co-authored by Richard Longland, a professor at North Carolina State University, offers a more solid foundation for interpreting astronomical observations and simulating stellar environments, providing statistically grounded insight into stellar life and death.
