Mason Title: Vacuum ultraviolet photoabsorption spectra of nitrile ices for their identification on Pluto Journal/Source: Astrophys. J., 825, 141, (2016); http://dx.doi.org/10.3847/0004-637X/825/2/141 Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 110 - 180 nm Resolution: Temperature: 10 - 130 K Temperature dependence: yes Pressure/Concentration: Phase: condensed phase (pure ice) pH: Comments: The VUV spectrum was measured for CH3CN ice in thewavelength range 110–190 nm. Acetonitrile was found to absorb up to 170 nm with a strong feature around 123 nm and two smaller absorption peaks at 134 and 138 nm. A second absorption peak was observed at about 151 nm in the 140–170 nm range.
