The stellar (n,γ) cross sections of the Ne isotopes are important for a number of astrophysical quests, i.e., for the interpretation of abundance patterns in presolar material or with respect to the s-process neutron balance in red giant stars. This paper presents resonance studies of experimental data in the keV range, which had not been fully analyzed before. The analyses were carried out with the R-matrix code SAMMY including the consistent treatment of possible interferences in the resonant part. With these results the resonant part of the neon cross sections could be determined. If the component due to direct radiative capture is normalized at thermal neutron energies, one finds that the stellar rates had been grossly overestimated.
