Hypernuclear formation through the radiative capture of in-flight {ital K}{sup {minus}} is studied in a distorted wave impluse approximation approach. The elementary operator is obtained from first-order Feynman diagrams and is constrained by the reactions {ital K}{sup {minus}}{ital p}{r arrow}{Lambda}{gamma} and, via crossing, by {gamma}{ital p}{r arrow}{ital K}{sup +}{Lambda}. The {ital K}{sup {minus}} distortion has been included via a simple optical potential which is in agreement with {ital K}{sup {minus}} elastic scattering on nuclei. Using the reaction {sup 16}O({ital K}{sup {minus}},{gamma}){sub {Lambda}}{sup 16}N we obtain cross sections up to 10 {mu}b for photons emitted at forward angles.
