Inclusions in ice layers formed by melting and refreezing processes in a Greenland ice core
In recent decades, surface melting on the inland Greenland ice sheet has increased, leading to significant meltwater-refreezing in the snow and firn.

AKARI NIR spectroscopy of interstellar ices [PDF]
AbstractThe Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI has a near-infrared (2--5μm) spectroscopic capability with high sensitivity that allows us to study the major ice components in various objects. In particular, H2O and CO2 ice absorption features have been detected towards nearby galaxies, including several young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Large ...

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.

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

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.

Qualitative observation of reversible phase change in astrochemical ethanethiol ices using infrared spectroscopy [PDF]
Here we report the first evidence for a reversible phase change in an ethanethiol ice prepared under astrochemical conditions. InfraRed (IR) spectroscopy was used to monitor the morphology of the ice using the Ssingle bondH stretching vibration, a ...

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 ...

Proton Ordering of Cubic Ice Ic: Spectroscopy and Computer Simulations
Several proton-disordered crystalline ice structures are known to proton order at sufficiently low temperatures, provided that the right preparation procedure is used. For cubic ice, ice Ic, however, no proton ordering has been observed so far. Here, we subject ice Ic to an experimental protocol similar to that used to proton order hexagonal ice.

VLT Spectroscopy of Blue Supergiants in IC 1613 [PDF]
We present multi-object spectroscopy of young, massive stars in the Local Group galaxy IC 1613. We provide the spectral classification and a detailed spectral catalog for 54 OBA stars in this galaxy. The majority of the photometrically selected sample is composed of B- and A-type supergiants. The remaining stars include early O-type dwarfs and the only

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.
