Selected methods of nuclear astrophysics
  The book covers the certain questions of nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics of light atomic nuclei and their processes at low and ultralow energies. Some methods of calculation of nuclear characteristics of the thermonuclear processes considered in nuclear astrophysics are given here. The obtained results are directly applicable to the solution of certain nuclear astrophysics problems in the field of description of the thermonuclear processes in the Sun, the stars and the Universe. The book is based on the results of approximately three-four tens of scientific papers generally published in recent five-seven years and consists of three sections. The first of them covers the description of the general methods of calculation of certain nuclear characteristics for the bound states or the continuum of quantum particles. The second section deals with the methods, the computer programs and the results of the phase shift analysis of elastic scattering in the p3He, p6Li, p12C, n12C, p13C, 4He4He and 4He12C nuclear systems at low and ultralow energies. The results obtained on the basis of three-body models of certain light atomic nuclei are given in the third section, notably the 7Li, 9Be and 11B nuclei which are used for examination of the conjugated intercluster potentials determined on the basis of the phase shifts of elastic scattering and using then in the nuclear astrophysics problems connected with the description of the thermonuclear processes in the Universe. The book will be useful for advanced students, postgraduate students and PhD doctoral candidates in universities and research institutes in the field of astrophysics and nuclear physics. The book is presented in Russian with a few inserts into English.
