Description
We perform no-core full configuration calculations for a set of light nuclei including $^{16}$O with a realistic NN interaction, JISP16. We obtain ground state energies and their uncertainties through exponential extrapolations that we demonstrate are reliable in $^2$H, $^3$H and $^4$He test cases where fully converged results are obtained directly. We find that $^6$He, $^6$Li and $^8$He are underbound by about 600 keV, 560 keV and 1.7 MeV, respectively. $^{12}$C is overbound by about 1.7 MeV and $^{16}$O is overbound by about 16 MeV. The first excited $0^+$ states in $^{12}$C and $^{16}$O are also evaluated but their uncertainties are significantly larger than the uncertainties for the ground states.
