We present the results of experiments probing the retention of CO2 in crystalline water ice, frozen sodium chloride (NaCl) brines, and flash-frozen carbonated water using diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy.

Uncovering Ongoing Surface Modification On Europa
The JWST shows that ice on Europa is developing at different rates in different places, such as Tara Regio, where crystalline ice (lighter colors) is found on the surface as […]
JWST Reveals Spectral Tracers of Recent Surface Modification on Europa
Europa has been modified by a variety of geologic processes, exposing internally-derived materials that are heavily irradiated by charged particles trapped in Jupiter’s magnetosphere.
Hybrid Approach Predicts A Lower Binding Energy For Benzene On Water Ice
In this paper we provide a highly accurate value for the binding energy of benzene to proton-ordered crystalline water ice (XIh), as a model for interstellar ices.
Survivability Of Amorphous Ice In Comets Depends On The Latent Heat Of Crystallization Of Impure Water Ice
Comets would have amorphous ice rather than crystalline one at the epoch of their accretion. Cometary ice contains some impurities that govern the latent heat of ice crystallization, Lcry.
