AI Article Synopsis

  • The CNO cycle is a key nuclear energy process in stars, particularly significant in hydrostatic hydrogen burning at temperatures between 20 to 80 MK.
  • This study reports the first direct measurements of the resonance strength of the ^{17}O(p,γ)^{18}F reaction, revealing a strength about twice as high as previously documented.
  • The findings enhance our comprehension of oxygen isotopic ratios observed in red giant stars and in O-rich presolar grains, confirming consistency with earlier results from different reaction channels.

Article Abstract

The CNO cycle is one of the most important nuclear energy sources in stars. At temperatures of hydrostatic H-burning (20  MK
