Abstract

Context. Laboratory simulations on interstellar or cometary ice analogues are crucial to understand the formation of complex organic molecules that are detected in the interstellar medium (ISM). Results from this work give hints on physical and chemical processes occurring in space and can serve as a benchmark for dedicated space missions.
