Scientific paper

The detection of water-ice mantles towards the embedded source IRS1 in the dark cloud Barnard 5 is reported. It is shown that the observed column density of ice in the clump, N(H2O) = 2 x 10 to the 18th/sq cm, constrains theoretical models of the dynamics in the star-forming region. Simple estimates suggest that the time-scale for clump formation and dissipation is longer, perhaps by an order of magnitude, than the free-fall time of about 400,000 yr.
