γ-ray spectroscopy of astrophysically important states in ³⁹Ca

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁴⁰Ca(³He, αγ)³⁹Ca, E=30 MeV; Measured Eγ, Iγ, Eα, Iα, αγ-coin, reaction products using the GODDESS array (Gammasphere for γ detection and ORRUBA for particle detection) at the ATLAS-ANL facility. ³⁹Ca; deduced levels, J, π, γ-branching ratios. ³⁸K(p, γ)³⁹Ca, T=0.1-0.4 GK; deduced resonance parameters, astrophysical reaction rates. Discussed impact on abundances of isotopes created at the endpoint of nova nucleosynthesis.
