The Cosmic Ice Laboratory
- Main page: https://science.gsfc.nasa.gov/691/cosmicice/
- Short description: database from the Astrochemistry laboratory (NASA GSFC) focused on low temperature Mid and Far-IR (2.5-100 µm) transmission spectra and optical constants of ices and small organic molecules and their mixtures
- Access to data: IR Spectra - Optical Constants from IR Spectra
- Sample types: Ices, nitriles, hydrocarbons, small organic molecules and some simple mixtures
- Spectra types: transmission/absorbance spectra and optical constants over the Mid-IR (400-4000 cm-1) and Far-IR (100-500 cm-1))
- Search tools: Web pages with static lists of ice names
- Data format: ASCII (.txt), binary SPC/Brucker (.SPC)
- Preview format: pdf (.pdf)
- Metadata: limited: ice composition, sample thickness & growth rate, substrate, spectral resolution, formation and measurement temperature, reference…
- Metadata format: in HTML page (.html) and part in header of data file (.txt)
- Download: individual or series download
- Notes: large number of ices, nitriles, hydrocarbons and complex organic molecules
