contents In this work, we are presenting a new database of astrophysical interest, based on calculations performed with the nuclear reaction code TALYS. Four quantities are systematically calculated for over 8000 nuclides: cross sections, reaction rates, Maxwellian Averaged Cross Sections (or MACS) at 30 keV and partition functions. For cross sections and reaction rates, nine reactions are considered, induced by neutron, proton or alpha. The main complement of this database compared to existing ones is that the impact of reaction models ({\it e.g.} level density, gamma strength function, and optical model) is estimated by varying 9 different models, and by proposing calculated values for each of them, together with averages, standard deviations and other statistical quantities. This new database, called TENDL-astro, version 2023, is available online (https://tendl.web.psi.ch/tendl\_2023/astro/astro.html) and linked to the well-known TENDL database, used in a variety of applications.
