Using a tilting Filter Fabry-Pérot Spectrophotometer mounted at the Cassegrain focus of the 182 cm Asiago telescope we have detected rotational fine structure lines of the Phillips (2-0) band of interstellar C2 toward five stars.
For Cyg No. 12, ο And, and ζ Per rotational temperatures and total column densities could be derived. In the spectrum of ν Cyg, ζ Oph, and ζ Peg a strong unidentified absorption feature at 8759.7 Å is also present.
Cyg No. 12 and ο And show beside the C2-absorption lines, OH emission originating probably from a circumstellar shell.
The results obtained are discussed and compared also with other experimental data.
