The low-rotational lines of the A {sup 2}PI-X {sup 2}SIGMA{sup +}(0,0) band system of the odd isotopologue of strontium monofluoride, {sup 87}SrF, were recorded and analyzed. The {sup 87}Sr(I=9/2) magnetic hyperfine interaction is significant only in the |OMEGA|=1/2 spin-orbit component of the A {sup 2}PI state. Optical transitions appropriate for monitoring ultracold samples of {sup 87}SrF are identified. The determined fine-structure parameters were used to predict the anisotropic magnetic g factor, g{sub l}, for the X {sup 2}SIGMA{sup +}(v=0) state. The g factors were used to predict the magnetic tuning of the N=0 (+parity) and N=1 (-parity) levels of the X {sup 2}SIGMA{sup +}(v=0) state. A comparison to spectroscopic parameters for the {sup 88}SrF isotopologue is given.
