Abstract
Classical novae are expected to contribute to the 1809-keV Galactic $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray emission by producing its precursor $^{26}\mathrm{Al}$, but the yield depends on the thermonuclear rate of the unmeasured $^{25}\mathrm{Al}(p,\ensuremath{\gamma})^{26}\mathrm{Si}$ reaction. Using the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay of $^{26}\mathrm{P}$ to populate the key ${J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}={3}^{+}$ resonance in this reaction, we report the first evidence for the observation of its exit channel via a $1741.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.6(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.3(\mathrm{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{keV}$ primary $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ ray, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. By combining the measured $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray energy and intensity with other experimental data on $^{26}\mathrm{Si}$, we find the center-of-mass energy and strength of the resonance to be ${E}_{r}=414.9\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.6(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.3(\mathrm{syst})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.6(\mathrm{lit}.)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{keV}$ and $\ensuremath{\omega}\ensuremath{\gamma}=23\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}6(\mathrm{stat}{)}_{\ensuremath{-}10}^{+11}(\mathrm{lit}.)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{meV}$, respectively, where the last uncertainties are from adopted literature data. We use hydrodynamic nova simulations to model $^{26}\mathrm{Al}$ production showing that these measurements effectively eliminate the dominant experimental nuclear-physics uncertainty and we estimate that novae may contribute up to 30% of the Galactic $^{26}\mathrm{Al}$.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
