Reexamining the half-lives of 195Os and 195Ir

Currently the half-life of 195Os is listed as unknown in most databases because the value of the only available measurement had been reassigned. We argue that the original assignment is correct and re-evaluate the half-life of 195Os to be 6.5(11)min,consistent with the original measurement. We also suggest to reassign the half-life of 195Ir to 2.29(17)h.
