In ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{}(t,p)\mathrm{}$ at $E_t=15\mathrm{}$ MeV, sixteen angular distributions were measured for states to $E_x=7.1\mathrm{}$ MeV. Comparison with distorted-wave Born approximation calculations using empirical wave functions has been made, enabling extraction of absolute normalizations. Twenty-one higher-lying levels have had their excitation energies determined.
