Astrophysical Rates for ¹²N(p,)¹³O Direct Capture Reaction

The proton capture on the unstable nuclei plays a very important role in nucleonsynthesis. The ¹²N(p,)¹³O reaction rates at the energies of astrophysical interest are estimated with the spectroscopic factor and asymptotic normalization coefficient methods. The present results show that the ¹²N(p,)¹³O reaction may play an important role in x-ray bursts.
