Cross sections of the $$^{186}$$W, $$^{187}$$Re, $$^{188}$$Os($$gamma,n$$) reactions were measured using quasi-monochromatic photon beams from laser Compton scattering (LCS) with average energies from 7.3 to 10.9 MeV. The results are compared with the predictions of Hauser-Feshbach statistical calculations using four different sets of input parameters. In addition, the inverse neutron capture cross sections were evaluated by constraining the model parameters, especially the $$E1$$ strength function, on the basis of the experimental data. The present experiment helps to further constrain the correction factor $$F_{sigma}$$ for the neutron capture on the 9.75 keV state in $$^{187}$$Os. Implications of $$F_{sigma}$$ to the Re-Os cosmochronology are discussed with a focus on the uncertainty in the estimate of the age of the Galaxy.
