Abstract

The recent mass measurement of $^{70}\mathrm{Kr}$ using the $B\ensuremath{\rho}$-defined isochronous mass spectrometry yields a mass excess of $\ensuremath{-}41320(140)$ keV, indicating a 220-keV increase in binding energy compared to the AME2020 prediction. We utilize this experimental mass---the last piece of information needed---to model the potential waiting point $^{68}\mathrm{Se}$ in $rp$ process and quantitatively constrain the sequential $p$-capture reaction flow bypassing this waiting point. Our investigation shows that the more tightly bound nature of $^{70}\mathrm{Kr}$ enhances this reaction flow up to a factor of four. This enhancement reduces the effective half-life of $^{68}\mathrm{Se}$. A one-zone x-ray burst-model calculations reveal that the higher flow of $^{70}\mathrm{Kr}$ has distinct effects on the tail structure of light curve and the final SnSbTe abundances in the ashes due to a stronger $rp$-process heating.
