Abstract
We determine the frequency of the ultranarrow $^{87}\text{Sr}$ ${^{1}\text{S}_{0}} - {^{3}\text{P}_{2}}$ transition by spectroscopy of an ultracold gas. This transition is referenced to four molecular iodine lines that are observed by Doppler-free saturation spectroscopy of hot iodine vapor. The frequency differences between the Sr and the I$_2$ transitions are measured with an uncertainty of 250 kHz. The absolute frequency of the $^{87}\text{Sr}$ ${^{1}\text{S}_{0}} - {^{3}\text{P}_{2}}$ ($\text{F}'=7/2$) transition is 446648775(30) MHz and limited in accuracy by the iodine reference. This work prepares the use of the Sr ${^{1}\text{S}_{0}} - {^{3}\text{P}_{2}}$ transition for quantum simulation and computation.
