Scientific paper

We report the detection of a broad absorption band at 2165/cm in the spectrum of L1551 IRS 5. New laboratory results over the 2200-2100/cm wavenumber interval, performed with realistic interstellar ice analogs, suggest that this feature is due to a CN-containing compound. We will refer to this compound as XCN. We also confirm the presence of frozen CO through absorption bands at 2140/cm and 2135/cm. The relative abundance of solid state CO to frozen H2O is about 0.13 while the abundance of XCN seems comparable to that of frozen CO.
