The Galactic 1.809-MeV γ-ray signature from the β decay of ^26gAl is a dominant target of γ-ray astronomy, of which a significant component is understood to originate from massive stars. The ^26gAl(p,g)27Si reaction is a major destruction pathway for ^26gAl at stellar temperatures, but the reaction rate is poorly constrained due to uncertainties in the strengths of low-lying resonances in ²⁷Si. The ^26gAl(d,p)²⁷Al reaction has been employed in inverse kinematics to determine the spectroscopic factors, and hence resonance strengths, of proton resonances in ²⁷Si via mirror symmetry. Furthermore, the strength of the 127-keV resonance is found to be a factor of 4 higher than the previously adopted upper limit, and the upper limit for the 68-keV resonance has been reduced by an order of magnitude, considerably constraining the ^26gAl destruction rate at stellar temperatures.
