  The emergence of rotational bands is observed in no-core configuration
interaction (NCCI) calculations for the odd-mass Be isotopes (7<=A<=13) with
the JISP16 nucleon-nucleon interaction, as evidenced by rotational patterns for
excitation energies, quadrupole moments, and E2 transitions. Yrast and
low-lying excited bands are found. The results demonstrate the possibility of
well-developed rotational structure in NCCI calculations using a realistic
nucleon-nucleon interaction.
