The detection of characteristic γ-ray lines of astrophysical origin allows important nuclear physics constraints to be set on nucleosynthesis models of astrophysical phenomena. The 1.809 MeV and 1.275 MeV β-delayed γ-rays from ^26Al(g.s.) (t1/2=7.2x10^5y) and ^22Na (t1/2=2.6y) respectively, constitute two of these production signatures. Much recent experimental work^1,2,3 has been concentrated on determining the rates of the reactions ^21Na(p,γ)^22Mg and ^25Al(p,γ)^26Si to better establish the contribution of novae to the overall abundances of these two species. For indirect determinations of these reaction rates, it is important to have precise mass values of the nuclei involved^4,5. Using a 33 MeV proton beam in conjunction with our Enge Split-Pole spectrograph, we measured the Q0 values of the ^24Mg(p,t)^22Mg and ^28Si(p,t)^26Si reactions relative to that of the ^16O(p,t)^14O reaction. We find the mass excesses δ(^22Mg) = -400.5(1.0) keV and δ(^26Si) = -7139.5(1.0) keV. This work was supported by the US DOE, Grant No. DE-FG02-91ER-40609 and Contract No. W-31-109-ENG-38. ^1 S.
