Comments: The results of an extensive study of formamide (HCONH2) ices carried out under experimental
conditions that simulate those found in the interstellar medium (ISM). Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) and
Infrared (IR) spectroscopic techniques were used to measure photoabsorption cross sections of these ices.
Error limit in the solid phase spectra are within ±10%.
