The excitation function of the C-12(alpha, gamma)O-16 reaction and the angular distribution of its gamma rays were measured at nine energies ranging from E(c.m.) = 1.37 to 2.98 MeV. These measurements allowed the separation of the E1 and E2 contributions and their extrapolation to the region of astrophysical interest. The analysis of the E1 cross sections with a three-level R-matrix method yields a prediction of 1 + 6 or -1 keVb for the S factor at E(c.m.) = 0.3 MeV. The contribution of E2 transitions at the same energy is 40 +/- 7 keVb from a cluster-model analysis of the present data.
