Indirect methods in nuclear astrophysics*

I discuss the present status of indirect techniques that are used to determine reaction rates for stellar burning processes, These include transfer, charge-exchange, knockout and other inelastic processes with nuclear reactions performed in radioactive beam facilities. The theoretical and experimental perspectives will also be discussed.\\[4pt] [1] Nuclear Astrophysics with Radioactive Beams, C.A. Bertulani and A.
