Abstract
A new numerical method for the analysis of the high dispersion photospheric spectrum is described. In particular the method is applied to study the C2(0, 0) d 3 Πg-a a Πu molecular band. From measurements of the equivalent widths of C2 lines, a rotational temperature of 4450 ± 305 K is obtained, and the band intensity log W 0 /S 0 = −0.051 ± 0.101 is found.
