The 30P(p, γ)31S reaction in classical novae: progress and prospects
The unknown thermonuclear rate of the 30P(p, γ)31S reaction at classical-nova temperatures currently prohibits the accurate modeling of nova nucleosynthesis in the A ⩾ 30 region. This is hindering the calibration of nova thermometers based on observed O/S, S/Al, O/P, and P/Al abundance ratios in nov...
