Abstract

The present paper aims at understanding r-process nucleosynthesis by addressing the nuclear physics involved, the necessary environment conditions in the (stellar) production sites, and the observational constraints. We also summarize the remaining challenges and uncertainties which need to be overcome for a full understanding of the nature of the r-process.
