About CeNAM

The Center for Nuclear Astrophysics across Messengers (CeNAM) fosters sustained collaboration of scientists across various fields to address fundamental scientific questions about the cosmos at the intersection of nuclear science, geochemistry, and astronomy. These questions include: 

• What drives the many changes we observe in the night sky with modern telescopes and detectors such as explosions of stars or star quakes?
• What is physics like deep inside the most extreme environments in the cosmos such as colliding neutron stars or collapsing giant stars, and what do messengers like gravitational waves, light, gamma-rays, X-rays, neutrinos, cosmic-rays, and stardust tell us about it? 
• How were the chemical elements that make up our world formed throughout the history of the universe, and how does the universe continue to create new elements?
