In the present study, line-intensity measurements for 16O12C17O were performed using a high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (Bruker IFS-125HR) together with a Herriott cell allowing a 20.956 m absorption path. For this, a 17O-enriched CO2 gas sample mixture was used. The 16O12C17O isotopologue abundance in the sample was determined to be 0.3991 by mass spectrometry. Since a collisional narrowing effect has been observed, the Rautian profile was systematically used instead of the Voigt profile. Finally, around 1000 transitions were studied between 4604 and 5126 cm−1 involving 15 bands of the 16O12C17O isotopologue. For each of the 15 bands, transition dipole moments and Herman-Wallis factors were derived, which also enabled a global comparison with theoretical calculations and predictions achieved for carbon dioxide. For the measured and calculated line positions, the accuracy is between 0.1 - 1×10−3 cm−1. For line intensities, depending on the intensity of the band, accuracies are between 2 - 3 % for 5 cold bands and 2 hot bands and between 6 - 30 % for 8 weaker hot bands. Results from this work are compared to previous works and to HITRAN 2012. Complete line lists were generated to support atmospheric remote sensing for the Earth (e.g. GOSAT, OCO-2 ...), Mars and Venus.
