Optical Constants, Surfaces: Icy, Water Ice: T-100K

Scientific paper

Water ice is an abundant constituent on surfaces throughout the outer solar system. Warren provides a compilation of the optical constants of water ice (T ~ 269 K) from the UV to the thermal-IA. Bertie et al present the optical constants of water ice (T ~ 173 K) that include part of the near-IA (lambda = 1.25-2.5 micrometers). While both of these data are useful in modeling the interaction of incident solar energy with icy bodies, these temperatures are too warm for application in the outer solar system where temperatures are generally below 150 K. Ockman grew thick crystals of water ice at temperatures of ~266 K and then measured the transmission of these samples at temperatures near 100 K. These data can be used to estimate the optical constants of hexagonal water ice at temperatures appropriate for the outer solar system.
