- Title
- Determination of the optical constants of ices in the mid-infrared
- Abstract
- The central part of this work is a spectroscopic study of volatile molecular solids (i.e., ices), taking into account their composition, structure and their thermal history. The authors present a numerical code which calculates the optical constants of ices from laboratory transmission spectra. These data will be very important for the interpretation of the infrared spectra that will be recorded by the ISO satellite (Infrared Space Observatory). Indeed, modeling the radiative transfer in grain regions needs the knowledge of the optical constants of the solids composing the grains. The authors study the ices which are already known, and those which are suspected to be present in the interstellar medium.
