Abstract  Optical heterodyne magnetic rotation enhanced velocity modulation spectroscopy was employed to observe the visible absorption spectra of the B2Σu+X2Σg+ electronic transition of C2. 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 C2 to be about 3000K.
