Electron-capture reaction rates on medium-heavy nuclei are a key ingredient to describe the evolution of core-collapse and thermonuclear supernovae. To estimate these rates it is necessary to know the Gamow-Teller strength distributions involved. In this paper we report some preliminary results of the calculations of Gamow-Teller strength distributions for pf -shell nuclei performed in the framework of the realistic shell model.
