Resonating-group analysis is used to determine the total cross sections and astrophysical reaction rates (S factors) of two radiative-capture reactions of importance in solar-evolution models. All available multipole contributions and the Pauli principle are accounted for, and the results are presented in graphs and a table. S factors for incident energies (Ecm) as low as 10 keV are determined without normalization, artificial parameters, or extrapolation for the reactions alpha(He-3, gamma)Be-7 and alpha(t, gamma)Li-7. At Ecm = 10 keV, the S factor for the Be-7 reaction is 0.508 keV barn. The S factors for the Li-7 reaction are found to be about five times smaller than those of Be-7; this difference is attributed to different threshold energies and Coulomb penetration factors. The solar-model implications are discussed in detail.
