    Solid N2O in Interstellar Ices Detected with JWST Data

    Overview Interstellar ices are chemical laboratories frozen onto dust grains in cold regions of the cosmos. Among the handful of molecules known to contain a nitrogen-oxygen (N–O) bond in the gaseous phase, nitrous oxide (N2O) has been a target of search for decades. Although early missions like the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) laid the groundwork,…
