Spectroscopic Study of Ice Analogs of Trans-Neptunian Objects Exposed to Ionizing Radiation. II. Infrared Spectra and Functional Groups

The surfaces of airless trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are subject to continuous ionizing radiation from solar winds and Galactic cosmic rays accompanied by alteration of surface compositions. The crust resulting from chemical reactions and products at various radiation levels can influence their sp...
