Abstract

This introductory review aims at understanding r-process nucleosynthesis by addressing the issues involved, nuclear properties, necessary environment conditions, properties of different suggested r-process sites, observational constraints and Galactic evolution. We summarize the remaining challenges and uncertainties which need to be overcome for a full understanding of the nature and site(s) of the r-process.
