The nuclear physics uncertainty associated with the production of the Galactic β-delayed γ-ray emitter Al26 in classical novae is currently dominated by the uncertainty in the thermonuclear Al25(p,γ)Si26 reaction rate. By combining the results of recent experiments with past work, the center-of-mass energy of the key Jπ=3+, Al25(p,γ)Si26 resonance is determined to be 412(2) keV, and a lower limit of Γp/Γγ>5.6 is set for this resonance. The resulting large reduction in the Al25(p,γ)Si26 rate uncertainty is expected to constrain uncertainties in the nova contribution to Galactic Al26.
