abstract

Infrared spectroscopic observations toward objects obscured by dense cloud material show that H$_2$O, CO and, likely, CO$_2$ are important constituents of interstellar ice mantles. In order to accurately calculate the column densities of these molecules, it is important to have good measurements of their infrared band strengths in astrophysical ice analogs. We present the results of laboratory experiments to determine these band strengths. Improved experimental methods, relying on simultaneous independent depositions of the molecule to be studied and of the dominating ice component, have led to accuracies better than a few percent. Furthermore, the temperature behavior of the infrared band strengths of CO and H$_2$O are studied. In contrast with previous work, the strengths of the CO, CO$_2$, and H$_2$O infrared features are found to depend only weakly on the composition of the ice matrix, and the reversible temperature dependence of the CO band is found to be weaker than previously measured for a mixture of CO in H$_2$O.

  1. Using Scattered Near-Infrared Light to Map Water Ice in Prestellar Cores with SPHEREx

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Coreshine SPHEREx spectra map 3 µm H2O ice across four prestellar cores; the two densest show an unexplained central drop in ice absorption that standard Bonnor-Ebert scattering models cannot reproduce.

  2. IPA: Morphology and Kinematics of Molecular Hydrogen Winds in Five Young Protostars across the Mass Spectrum Observed with JWST

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Five protostars from 0.16 to 10,000 solar luminosities show nested, onion-like H2 outflows, with higher-excitation gas more collimated and faster, consistent with MHD disk wind launching.

  3. PDRs4All XXII. Near-Infrared continuum in the Orion Bar

    astro-ph.GA 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The near-infrared excess in the Orion Bar decomposes into a ~700 K component correlated with the 3.3 micrometer aromatic band and a weakly constrained hotter component that is not.

  4. Formation of nitriles and isonitriles by the heavy-ion irradiation of propionitrile in N2-rich astrophysical ices

    astro-ph.EP 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Heavy-ion irradiation of a propionitrile:N2 ice at 10 K produces nitriles, isonitriles, nitrogen-bearing molecules, and hydrocarbons, with measured cross sections and G-values.
