New rates for proton capture reactions on the radioactive nuclei F-17 and F-18 were calculated and compared with previous ones. The reactions studied include the O-18(p, alpha)N-15, the O-18(p, gamma)F-19, the F-17(p, gamma)Ne-18, the F-18(p, alpha)O-15, and the F-18(p, gamma)Ne-19. The time variation of the abundances of the isotopes were calculated at constant density and temperature. The isotopic abundances as a function of time produced in these reactions were determined. The relevance of the results for CNO burning in convective envelopes of red giant stars or deep-mixing carbon stars, as well as nova events, is discussed.
