Observations of CO Ices in Molecular Clouds

  • Chapter
The Cosmic Dust Connection

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 487))

Abstract

The chemical evolution of star forming regions and the role of dust grains as sites for molecule formation and mantle growth are topics of much current interest (e.g., van Dishoeck et al., 1993; Whittet, 1993). Both theoretical models and observational evidence suggest the existence of at least two phases of mantle growth in molecular clouds, leading to the occurrence of distinct H2O-rich and CO-rich ice phases (d’Hendecourt et al., 1985; Tielens et al., 1991).
