E(level): From least-squares to Eγ data for levels populated in γ-ray studies. Others are from reaction studies.

Jπ(level): Predicted from Shell Model calculations (1999Wa21,2000Fo03,1976Cr03) and systematics of even-even nuclei, unless otherwise noted.

T1/2(level): From the differential recoil distance Doppler shift method in 208Pb(48Ca,Xγ), unless otherwise noted
