Ice processes and organic matter in space: observations and laboratory simulations

Martín-Doménech, R.; Muñoz Caro, G. M.

The formation of ice mantles on interstellar and circumstellar dust grains is governed by the accretion and desorption processes. Thermal processing of astrophysical ices takes place in circumstellar environments, near protostars, or already formed stars (comets and other icy bodies). Temperature-programmed desorption experiments of ice composed o…
