Infrared observations of the interstellar medium revealed the presence of several molecules
in the solid phase such as H2O, CO2, CO, CH4, NH3, CH3OH, H2CO and HCOOH …

Conspectus Molecular deposition on solid surfaces forms crystalline or amorphous/glassy
thin solid films. Intermolecular interactions govern the packing and dynamics of these films …

Context. The vacuum-UV (VUV) absorption cross sections of most molecular solids present
in interstellar ice mantles with the exception of H 2 O, NH 3, and CO 2 have not been …

We investigated whether ammonia-rich constituents are present on the surface of the
Uranian moon Ariel by analyzing 32 near-infrared reflectance spectra collected over a wide …

Near-infrared spectra of Umbriel and the other classical Uranian moons exhibit 2.2 μm
absorption bands that could result from ammonia (NH 3) bearing species, possibly exposed …

Context. The number of identified complex organic molecules (COMs) in inter-and
circumstellar gas-phase environments is steadily increasing. Recent laboratory studies …

We present the first high resolution vacuum ultraviolet photoabsorption study of amorphous
benzene with comparisons to annealed crystalline benzene and the gas phase. Vapour …

Abstract Nighttime Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) observations are used to
investigate condensed volatiles at the south polar region of the Moon. This study …

The reflectance of Saturn's moon Enceladus has been measured at far ultraviolet (FUV)
wavelengths (115–190nm) by Cassini's Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS). At visible …

Context. Infrared spectroscopy of star and planet forming regions is at the dawn of a new
age with the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Its high resolution and …
