Capture of electrons by nuclei is an important process in stellar environments where excited nuclear states are thermally populated. However, accurate treatment for excited configurations in electron capture (EC) rates has been an unsolved problem for medium-heavy and heavy nuclei. In this work, we take the $^{93}$Nb $\rightarrow$ $^{93}$Zr EC …
