The ${}_{14}N (p, γ) {}_{15}O$ reaction regulates the power generated by the CN cycle and thus impacts the structure and evolution of every star at some point in its life. The lowest positive-energy resonance in this reaction is located at $E_{r}^{c . m .} = 259$ keV, too high in energy to strongly influence quiescent stellar burning. Yet, the strength of this resonance is used as a cross-section normalization for lower-energy measurements of this reaction. We report on new measurements of the energy, strength, and $γ$ -ray branching ratios for the 259-keV resonance, using different detection and data-analysis schemes. We have also reevaluated previous results, where possible. Our proposed recommended strength of $ω γ = 12.6 (3)$ meV is in agreement with the previous value of 13.1(6) meV, but is more precise and thus provides a more reliable normalization for low-energy $(p, γ)$ measurements.
