Abstract
We report recent experiments on ethane ices made at temperatures applicable to the outer Solar System. New near- and mid-infrared data for crystalline and amorphous ethane, including new spectra for a seldom-studied solid phase that exists at 35–55 K, are presented along with radiation-chemical experiments showing the formation of more-complex hydrocarbons.
