Scientific paper

Using a new stochastic gas-grain chemistry model, we will construct theoretical models of ice evolution as interstellar material evolves from quiescent media to the dense environment surrounding a protostar. We will use the predicted grain mantle composition and layering at different epochs to compute synthetic ice absorption spectra. The ability to understand the chemical composition and relative ages of solid material in various lines of sight will inform the analysis and interpretation of data returned from the Spitzer Space Telescope. We also propose to make a well-documented version of this simulation code widely available through a website. We will provide the necessary theoretical and computational background so that other astronomers will be able to implement the code in analyzing their data.
