Abstract : The Galactic 1.809-MeV γ-ray signature from the β decay of $^{26g}$Al is a dominant target of γ-ray
astronomy, of which a significant component is understood to originate from massive stars. The
$^{26g}$Al(p; γ)$^{27}$Si reaction is a major destruction pathway for $^{26g}$Al at stellar temperatures, but the reaction
rate is poorly constrained due to uncertainties in the strengths of low-lying resonances in $^{27}$Si. The
$^{26g}$Al(d; p)$^{27}$Al reaction has been employed in inverse kinematics to determine the spectroscopic factors,
and hence resonance strengths, of proton resonances in $^{27}$Si via mirror symmetry. 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
$^{26g}$Al destruction rate at stellar temperatures.
