^ As – Excited nuclear isomer.
^ ( ) – Uncertainty (1σ) is given in concise form in parentheses after the: corresponding last digits.
^ # – Atomic mass marked #: value and "uncertainty derived not from purely experimental data." But at least partly from trends from the——Mass Surface (TMS).
^ Modes of decay:

EC: Electron capture

n: Neutron emission

p: Proton emission
^ Bold italics symbol as daughter – Daughter product is nearly stable.
^ Bold symbol as daughter – Daughter product is stable.
^ ( ) spin value – Indicates spin with weak assignment arguments.
^ # – Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from trends of neighboring nuclides (TNN).
