In this lecture some of the indirect methods for nuclear astrophysics that can be applied to extract reaction rates for H-burning in stars are treated. Instead of reviewing all methods, I chose for exemplification four different experiments of our Texas A and M group, each involving a different method, but all related to the study of the proton rich nucleus {sup 23}Al. They involve the use of radioactive nuclear beams. I will describe the use of one-nucleon transfer reactions (the ANC method), breakup reactions at intermediate energies, {beta}-decay and {beta}-delayed proton-decay to extract nuclear structure information that is then used for nuclear astrophysics. I will show the specificities of each method, talk about their complementarities and redundancies.
