Abstract

In this paper, we report on the formation of molecular hydrogen on different types of amorphous water ice. We show that mass spectra of desorbing molecules upon formation are sensitive to the way in which ice is deposited on a cold substrate, to its thermal history, and to the action of UV photons. Implications that these results bear on H2 formation in dense quiescent clouds are presented and discussed.
