Levels in 40Sc below 2.5 MeV excitation energy have been populated in a high-resolution study of the 40Ca(3He,t)40Sc reaction. Three new states have been observed at energies Ex=1703, 1871, and 1925 keV. Correspondence of the observed 40Sc levels with known T=1 states in 40K and 40Ca are based on predictions provided by the isobaric multiplet mass equation. Our results confirm recently estimated stellar reaction rates for proton capture on 39Ca.
