Abstract  Optical heterodyne magnetic rotation enhanced velocity modulation spectroscopy was employed to observe the visible absorption spectra of the $B^2\Sigma_{\rm u}^+-X^2\Sigma_{\rm g}^+$ electronic transition of C$^-_2$. Four hot bands (0,1), (1,2), (2,3) and (3,4) have been observed and the band (3,4) is measured directly for the first time, so far as we know, by absorption. A rotational analysis was carried out to obtain molecular constants. With the Franck-Condon principle and the vibrational Boltzmann distribution, we have estimated the vibrational temperature of C$^-_2$ to be about 3000K.
Keywords:  C^-_2 anion      velocity modulation spectroscopy      vibrational temperature
