GLO-up2, GLO-lo predictions are compared with the widely used GLO estimates in Figs. \[fig05\] – \[fig07\] for a temperature of $T=10^9$ K typical of the r-process nucleosynthesis [@ar07]. As already demonstrated in Fig. \[fig04\], close to the stability line the upbend structure has a relatively small influence. However, for exotic neutron-rich nuclei the impact may become large, essentially due to the low neutron separation energies allowing only for $\gamma$-decays with energies lower than typically 2 MeV. In this case, the strength in the low-energy region dominates the decay.

In Fig. \[fig05\], the rates obtained using the GLO-lo with constant temperature of $T_f=0.3$ MeV are compared to the frequently used standard GLO model with variable temperature as defined in Eq. (\[eq:temp\]). For nuclei close to the valley of stability, it is seen that the constant-temperature approach gives lower rates than the
