Experimental energy levels and partition function of the ${}^{12}$C${}_2$ molecule

Tibor Furtenbacher, Istvan Szabo, Attila G. Csaszar +3

The carbon dimer, the ${}^{12}$C${}_2$ molecule, is ubiquitous in astronomical environments. Experimental-quality rovibronic energy levels are reported for ${}^{12}$C${}_2$, based on rovib…
