New Global Calculation of Nuclear Masses and Fission Barriers for Astrophysical Applications

We review the current status of the macroscopic-microscopic method for calculating nuclear masses, fission barriers and other nuclear-structure quantities of interest in astrophysical applications. We discuss what would be some minimal requirements of a nuclear mass model and study how the macroscopic-microscopic method and other nuclear mass models fullfil such basic requirements. Finally, we discuss some results of astrophysical calculations based on macroscopic-microscopic nuclear-structure models.
