Abstract

This review compiles the results obtained since 2006 by use of the JYFLTRAP Penning trap mass spectrometer. Almost 300 atomic masses of ground or isomeric states of exotic nuclei have been measured. Some of the measurements required the development of new techniques which are briefly mentioned. In addition, JYFLTRAP was applied to a variety of spectroscopic studies and to the production of isobarically or isomerically pure beams.
