We propose a new model to calculate stellar electron capture rates for neutron-rich nuclei. These nuclei are encountered in the core-collapse of a massive star. Using the Shell Model Monte Carlo approach, we first calculate the finite temperature occupation numbers in the parent nucleus. We then use these occupation numbers as a starting point for calculations using the random phase approximation. Using the RPA approach, we calculate electron capture rates including both allowed and forbidden transitions. Such a hybrid model is particularly useful for nuclei with proton numbers Z<40 and neutron numbers N>40, where allowed Gamow-Teller transitions are only possible due to configuration mixing by the residual interaction and by thermal unblocking of $pf$-shell single-particle states. Using the even germanium isotopes Ge-68 to Ge-76 as examples, we demonstrate that the configuration mixing is strong enough to unblock the Gamow-Teller transitions at all temperatures relevant to core-collapse supernovae.

Starting from a Skyrme interaction with tensor terms, the $beta$-decay rates of $^{52}$Ca have been studied within a microscopic model including the $2p-2h$ configuration effects. We observe a redistribution of the strength of Gamow-Teller transition
s due to the $2p-2h$ fragmentation. Taking into account this effect results in a satisfactory description of the neutron emission probability of the $beta$-decay in $^{52}$Ca.
Low-lying excited states of the neutron-rich calcium isotopes $^{48-52}$Ca have been studied via $gamma$-ray spectroscopy following inverse-kinematics proton scattering on a liquid hydrogen target using the GRETINA $gamma$-ray tracking array. The ene
rgies and strengths of the octupole states in these isotopes are remarkably constant, indicating that these states are dominated by proton excitations.
The Gamow shell model has shown to efficiently describe weakly bound and unbound nuclear systems, as internucleon correlations and continuum coupling are both taken into account in this model. In the present work, we study neutron-dripline oxygen iso
topes. It is hereby demonstrated that the presence of continuum coupling is important for the description of oxygen isotopes at dripline, and especially to assess the eventual bound or unbound character of $^{28}$O. Our results suggest that the ground state of $^{28}$O is weakly unbound and is similar to the narrow resonant $^{26}$O ground state. Predictions of weakly bound and resonance excited states in $^{24text-26}$O are also provided. The asymptotes of the studied many-body states are analyzed via one-body densities, whereby the different radial properties of well bound, loosely bound, resonance states are clearly depicted.
During the late stages of gravitational core-collapse of massive stars, extreme isospin asymmetries are reached within the core. Due to the lack of microscopic calculations of electron capture (EC) rates for all relevant nuclei, in general simple ana
lytic parameterizations are employed. We study here several extensions of these parameterizations, allowing for a temperature, electron density and isospin dependence as well as for odd-even effects. The latter extra degrees of freedom considerably improve the agreement with large scale microscopic rate calculations. We find, in particular, that the isospin dependence leads to a significant reduction of the global EC rates during core collapse with respect to fiducial results, where rates optimized on calculations of stable $fp$-shell nuclei are used. Our results indicate that systematic microscopic calculations and experimental measurements in the $Napprox 50$ neutron rich region are desirable for realistic simulations of the core-collapse.
Based on the realistic nuclear force of the high-precision CD-Bonn potential, we have performed comprehensive calculations for neutron-rich calcium isotopes using the Gamow shell model (GSM) which includes resonance and continuum. The realistic GSM c
alculations produce well binding energies, one- and two-neutron separation energies, predicting that $^{57}$Ca is the heaviest bound odd isotope and $^{70}$Ca is the dripline nucleus. Resonant states are predicted, which provides useful information for future experiments on particle emissions in neutron-rich calcium isotopes. Shell evolutions in the calcium chain around neutron numbers textit{N} = 32, 34 and 40 are understood by calculating effective single-particle energies, the excitation energies of the first $2^+$ states and two-neutron separation energies. The calculations support shell closures at $^{52}$Ca (textit{N} = 32) and $^{54}$Ca (textit{N} = 34) but show a weakening of shell closure at $^{60}$Ca (textit{N} = 40). The possible shell closure at $^{70}$Ca (textit{N} = 50) is predicted.
