THz time-domain spectroscopy of mixed CO2–CH3OH interstellar ice analogs [PDF]
The icy mantles of interstellar dust grains are the birthplaces of the primordial prebiotic molecular inventory that may eventually seed nascent solar systems and the planets and planetesimals that form therein.

A 21 000-year record of fluorescent organic matter markers in the WAIS Divide ice core [PDF]
Englacial ice contains a significant reservoir of organic material (OM), preserving a chronological record of materials from Earth's past. Here, we investigate if OM composition surveys in ice core research can provide paleoecological information on the ...

CO2 Ice toward Low-luminosity, Embedded Protostars: Evidence for Episodic Mass Accretion via Chemical History [PDF]
We present Spitzer IRS spectroscopy of CO2 ice bending mode spectra at 15.2 micrometer toward 19 young stellar objects with luminosity lower than 1 Lsun (3 with luminosity lower than 0.1 Lsun). Ice on dust grain surfaces can encode the history of heating

Effects of CO2 on H2O band profiles and band strengths in mixed H2O:CO2 ices [PDF]
H2O is the most abundant component of astrophysical ices. In most lines of sight it is not possible to fit both the H2O 3 um stretching, the 6 um bending and the 13 um libration band intensities with a single pure H2O spectrum.

2D IR spectroscopy of high-pressure phases of ice [PDF]
We present experimental and simulated 2D IR spectra of some high-pressure forms of isotope-pure D2O ice and compare the results to those of ice Ih published previously [F. Perakis and P. Hamm, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 14, 6250 (2012); L. Shi et al., ibid. 18, 3772 (2016)]. Ice II, ice V, and ice XIII have been chosen for this study, since this selection

Infrared Spectroscopy on Equilibrated High-Density Amorphous Ice
High-density (HDA) and low-density amorphous ices (LDA) are believed to be counterparts of the high- and low-density liquid phases of water, respectively. In order to better understand how the vibrational modes change during the transition between the two solid states, we present infrared spectroscopy measurements, following the change of the decoupled

Brief Communication: Ikaite (CaCO3·6H2O) discovered in Arctic sea ice [PDF]
We report for the first time on the discovery of calcium carbonate crystals as ikaite (CaCO3·6H2O) in sea ice from the Arctic (Kongsfjorden, Svalbard) as confirmed by morphology and indirectly by X-ray diffraction as well as XANES spectroscopy of ...

Accretion and photodesorption of CO ice as a function of the incident angle of deposition [PDF]
Non-thermal desorption of inter- and circum-stellar ice mantles on dust grains, in particular ultraviolet photon-induced desorption, has gained importance in recent years.

Investigation of HNCO isomers formation in ice mantles by UV and thermal processing: an experimental approach [PDF]
Current gas phase models do not account for the abundances of HNCO isomers detected in various environments, suggesting a formation in icy grain mantles.
