a) and J.C. Hopkins, private communication to Fay Ajzenberg-Selove (1971AJ02).
b) Adopted.
c) Calculated using the tables of (1971GO40)
d) log f1t: E.K. Warburton, private communication to Fay Ajzenberg-Selove (1971AJ02) and (1971TO08).
e) Direct ground-state decay < 1.5% (1976AL02).
f) From neutron groups. [The Ex were calculated on the basis of 4144.3 ± 0.8 keV for Eb for a neutron in 17O.] Γn for 17O*(4.55, 5.08, 5.38, 5.94) are, respectively, 54.8 ± 0.4, 113 ± 55, 63.2 ± 1.1 and 60.5 ± 3.2 keV. See also Table 17.17 in (1993TI07).
g) Calculated from the mean of the values from (1973PO11, 1976AL02, 1976OH05), renormalized here, together with the new branch to 17O*(5.08), to lead to a total neutron emission probability of 95 ± 1 % [100% less the branches to 17O*(0, 0.87, 3.06)].
h) See, however, Tables 17.10 and 17.17 in (1993TI07).
i) log f1t = 9.56 ± 0.13 (1971TO08).
