Scientific paper

The optical constants of mixtures of NH3 and H2O ices were measured at 23-24 K by the procedures described by Kitta and Kratschmer (1983), using the Kramers-Kronig iteration to calculate the constants. The values of the complex refractive index calculated from the experimental data were compared with the values estimated by using the Maxwell-Garnett (MG) mixing rule. A good agreement between the two sets of values of the complex refractive index suggests that the MG rule can be used to derive the unknown optical constants of natural dirty ice (when there are no chemical bonds between the guest and host materials), thus providing the means of estimating the optical constants of dirty ice on the surfaces of comets, satellites, and interplanetary dust grains from their reflectance spectra.
