Abstract
Nuclear astrophysics has become a major motivation for nuclear physics research in the latest few decades. The quests to understand grand scale cosmic phenomena, the origin of elements and isotopes, the sources of energy in stars, were advanced by studies at the microscopic scale of nuclei. Advances in the production, separation and acceleration of unstable nuclei lead not only to new knowledge in the structure of nuclei and nuclear matter, but also have revolutionized nuclear physics for astrophysics. I will review some of the many contributions that nuclear astrophysics made to our fundamental knowledge, and then will describe a few indirect methods used in nuclear astrophysics using radioactive beams, concentrating on those used by the groups I work with.
