In 2016, unambiguous evidence for the presence of the amino acid glycine, an important
prebiotic molecule, was deduced based on in situ mass-spectral studies of the coma …

We calculate the time‐varying spatial distribution of energetic magnetospheric electron
influx onto Europa's surface by combining a hybrid model of the moon's draped …

To better assess the role that electrons play in exosphere production on icy bodies, we
measured the total and O 2 sputtering yields from H 2 O ice for electrons with energies …

We present new laboratory experiments investigating various water ice samples, ranging
from thin ice films to porous thick ice layers, that are irradiated with electrons. The molecules …

The photodesorption of icy grain mantles has been claimed to be responsible for the
abundance of gas-phase molecules towards cold regions. Being water a ubiquitous …

Electrons contribute a strong radiation component to the surface bombardment of Europa.
However, they are not typically considered to contribute to erosion of the surface H 2 O-ice …

Electron-stimulated desorption (ESD) of cryosorbed molecules on surfaces is a process of
relevance to fields as varied as vacuum dynamics in accelerators and astrochemistry. While …

We have measured the sputtering yield of H 2 O–ice for 0.5–10 keV electrons at 60 K using
microbalance gravimetry. We find that over the energy range studied Y (H 2 O) changes by a …

X‐Ray irradiation of interstellar ice analogues has recently been proven to induce
desorption of molecules, thus being a potential source for the still‐unexplained presence of …

Irradiation by energetic ions, electrons, and UV photons induces sputtering and chemical
processes (radiolysis) in the surfaces of icy moons, comets, and icy grains. Laboratory …
