Scientific paper

A high-resolution (λ/Δλ ≡ 2000), broad-bandwidth (3.3 - 5.0 μm) spectrum of the compact infrared source W33 A is presented. Four absorption features are associated with compositionally distinct components in the interstellar medium: solid-phase C3, CN, or CH3OH at 4.9 μm, solid-phase CO and either solid or gaseous CH3NC near 4.6 μm, and the well-known "dirty ice" feature near 3 μm. The analysis of this spectrum supports chemically complex models of grain mantle evolution in cold, quiescent molecular clouds.
