The masses of several Kr isotopes (^72,73,74,78Kr) were determined with uncertainties below 10keV using the Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP at ISOLDE/CERN. Beside their relevence for nuclear structure studies like neutron-proton pairing correlations, ⁷²Kr is of especially importance since it is a waiting point in the atrophysical rp-process. It is well-known, that masses of unstable nuclei are critical nuclear physics parameters for reliable nucleosynthesis calculations in astrophysics. In the case of ^73,74,78Kr the results confirm those obtained in previous experiments at ISOLTRAP, and constitute a remarkable evidence of the reliability of the ISOLTRAP apparatus.
