The authors have discovered in the envelope of the carbon star IRC +10216 a new series of doublets arising from a reactive species in a 2Σ or 2A state. This new molecule is also observed in the laboratory in an acetylene discharge and it is therefore probably a hydrocarbon radical. Its rotation and centrifugal distortion constants are quite close to those of ground state C4H suggesting that the authors are observing C4H in an excited state, vibrational or electronic.
