Scientific paper

Calculations of stellar evolution require knowledge about the equation of state, transport properties, and nuclear reaction rates of plasmas at very high densities. Advances in each of these areas are highlighted, concentrating primarily on processes that are important for the structure and evolution of white dwarfs and neutron stars. The following topics are discussed: the equation of state, that is the pressure and entropy; the transport properties, such as the radiative Rosseland mean opacity and the conductive opacity; the nuclear reaction rates and neutrino emission rates of plasmas at very high densities.
