 Question 5:
-  * <sup>15</sup>O + α reaction plays a role in the ignition of type I x-ray bursts on accreting neutron stars \\
+  * Proton capture on <sup>15</sup>O one might expect from rp-process conditions is halted by the short half-life of <sup>16</sup>F (40 keV) and its proton emission back to <sup>15</sup>O. The two minute half-life of <sup>15</sup>O further acts to limit transitions out of <sup>15</sup>O, making <sup>15</sup>O a waiting point in nucleosynthesis in this mass region. \\
+  * <sup>15</sup>O + α reaction plays a role in bypassing this waiting point in the ignition of type I x-ray bursts on accreting neutron stars, but the cross-section at relevant temperatures/energies has been experimentally inaccessible to date. The next generation recoil separators, St. George at Notre Dame and SECAR at NSCL/FRIB may reach sensitivity to this important reaction. \\
