Description

Heavy ion fusion reactions play important roles in a wide variety of stellar burning scenarios. 12C+12C, 12C+16O and 16O+16O are the principle reactions during the advance burning stages of massive star. 12C+12C also triggers the happening of superburst and Type Ia supernovae. The heavy ion fusion reactions of the neutron-rich isotopes
such as 24O are the major heating source in the crust of neutron star. In this talk, I will review the challenges and the recent progress in the study of these heavy ion fusion reactions at stellar energies. The outlook for the studies of the astrophysical heavy-ion fusion reactions will also be presented.
