E(level): From a least squares fit to the adopted γ-ray energies.

Jπ(level): Assignments are based on the measured absolute cross sections in (d,t) data, expected pattern of the rotational bands, and deduced L transfer values.

E(γ): Except for 145.544γ, all energies are from 237Am ε decay.

I(γ): From 237Am ε decay.
