Impact on the r-process from the nuclear mass and lifetime in covariant density functional theory

The covariant density functional theory with a few number of parameters allows a very successful description of the ground-state and excited-state properties for the nuclei all over the nuclear chart. The recent progresses on the application of the covariant density functional theory for the nuclear mass and β-decay half-life, as well as their influences on the astrophysical rapid neutron-capture process calculation are reviewed
