Unraveling the secrets of space ice
My research focuses on understanding the functions and characteristics of interstellar ices – molecular solids formed on dust grains in molecular clouds between the stars. The LISA setup at HFML-FELIX allows us to make analogues of interstellar ices. Then, using FELIX we study the interaction of the ices with infrared irradiation, to mimic the omnipresent infrared field in space, as well as the effect of exothermic reactions in or on the ice. As the interstellar ices are proposed to be very important in the formation of many molecules that are observed in space, our research tries to uncover how these molecules were formed.
