Astrophysical research has traditionally been divided into
observations and theoretical modeling or a combination of both. A
component sometimes missing has been the ability to quantitatively test
the observations and models in an experimental setting where the
initial and final states are well characterized. Intense lasers are now
being used to recreate aspects of astrophysical phenomena in the
laboratory, allowing the creation of experimental test beds where
observations and models can be quantitatively compared with laboratory
data. Experiments are under development at intense laser facilities to
test and refine our understanding of phenomena such as supernovae,
supernova remnants, gamma-ray bursts, and giant planets.
