Progress in the astrophysical understanding of r-process nucleosynthesis also
depends on the knowledge of nuclear-physics quantities of extremely
neutron-rich isotopes. In this context, experiments at CERN-ISOLDE have played
a pioneering role in exploring new shell-structure far from stability. Possible
implications of new nuclear-data input on the reproduction of r-abundance
observations are presented.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures; Proc. "Nuclei in the Cosmos 2000", Nucl. Phys.
