Interstellar C2 Molecule Detected in UV Spectra of Reddened Stars
Abstract
C2 molecule is sometimes considered as a crucial component of carriers of some diffuse interstellar bands. Using UV data achieved by spectrometer STIS fed with HST we detected interstellar C2 lines for few reddened target stars. We tried to verify the idea that intensity of C2 lines around 2313 is correlated with some diffuse interstellar bands.
