Spectroscopic study of comet 9P/Tempel 1 .

We present the results of exploration of the spectra of comet 9P/Tempel 1, observed on Mount Pastukhov (Russia). The observations took place 2.5 months before collision of the copper nosed impactor of the Deep Impact spacecraft. The physical parameters of C2, C3 and CN molecules in the near nucleus region of the cometary atmosphere of 9P/Tempel 1 were determined. The presence of the cometary luminescence continuum (non-solar origin) in the spectra of the comet was confirmed.
