Indirect nuclear astrophysics methods are essential for determining stellar reaction rates, especially when direct measurements are challenging. This contribution will highlight recent advances using the Trojan Horse Method (THM) [1,2] to investigate key reactions in stars, such as carbon burning (12C+12C and 12C+16O fusion). Our studies focus on the dominant alpha and proton...
Classical novae are explosive events in binary star systems that require a deep understanding of both stellar and nuclear physics. These outbursts are driven by a thin-shell instability in material accreted from a main-sequence or red giant companion onto the surface of a white dwarf. The explosion ejects matter into the interstellar medium, and the detailed composition of this material...
