Abstract

Introduction

Laboratory simulations can benefit ground- and space-based observations of icy bodies in outer space. It is well-known that NH and CO can interact, forming ammonium carbamate (CHNO).

Methods

This study examines NH and CO in thermally processed HO-rich ices in the laboratory mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy. In particular, the presence of CO in NH-ice mixtures thermally annealed at 150 K for more than four hours in systematic experiments suggested that ammonium carbamate could potentially trap volatiles within the ice matrix.

Results

Additional studies with acetonitrile (CHN) in ice mixtures containing HO, CO, and NH were also performed. Absorption peak position changes were recorded when the temperature was slowly increased (≤ 5K/min) and also annealed at temperatures up to 150 K.

Conclusion

These studies will hopefully be useful in interpreting pre-biotic chemistry in the Solar System.
