Scientific paper

A comprehensive database of infrared absorption spectra of ice mixtures containing solid CO2 is being collected in the laboratory. These data will add to the current knowledge of interstellar solid CO2 by documenting the thermal history and temperature effects of the ice mixtures. Specifically, analyses of the 15µm bending mode peak of CO2 will provide a more in-depth knowledge of the chemical behavior of the ices at different temperatures. The results will then be used in comparison to infrared spectroscopic data from the Spitzer Space Telescope and subsequently made available to the scientific community. This research was supported by NASA award NNG05GE44G.
