Laboratory Simulation of Processes in Interstellar Ices

  • Chapter
Formation and Evolution of Solids in Space

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 523))

Abstract

Laboratory applications to the study of interstellar ices are reviewed. An overview is given of the state-of-the-art in infrared spectroscopy of astrophysical ice analogs. Laboratory results on chemical processes relevant to the evolution of interstellar ice mantles are summarized. These are grain surface chemistry involving activationless reactions between atoms and molecules, activationless acid-base reactions, cryogenic reactions involving formaldehyde, and the energetic processing of the ices by ultraviolet radiation or energetic ions. Furthermore, the sublimation properties of pure and mixed ices of astrophysical relevance are summarized. Some areas in which the laboratory results have stimulated essential progress in the study of interstellar and comet ices are pointed out. Finally, some avenues are discussed through which the combined observation/laboratory simulation approach could clarify a number of standing issues on the role of ices in dense cloud chemistry.
