It was expected that {gamma} rays from {sup 18}F and {sup 22}Na would be observed in massive One novae, but neither has been to date. The {sup 17}F(p,{gamma}){sup 18}Ne and {sup 22}Mg(p,{gamma}){sup 23}Al reactions may play important roles in the production and destruction of {sup 18}F and {sup 22}Na. We have determined the asymptotic normalization coefficients for {sup 18}Ne and {sup 23}Al through measurements of peripheral neutron transfer reactions in the mirror nuclear systems. We use the ANCs to calculate the astrophysical S-factors and reaction rates for these two reactions.
