Synthetic ice spectra of a ‘simple’ ice composition, containing only the major ice species and S-bearing molecules in the NIRSpec wavelengths. The spectral information used for each species (band shapes, positions and band strengths) are listed in Table A.1. The column densities of H2O, CO, CO2, CH3OH used to plot these spectra are, respectively, 3.0 × 1018, 3.0 × 1017, 3.0 × 1017, and 5.0 × 1017 molecules cm−2, while we assume 1.0 × 1016 molecules cm−2 for all four S-bearing species (H2S, OCS, SO2, and CS2). The zoom panel emphasises the low band strength of the band corresponding to H2S, as well as its overlapping with the methanol combination mode. The red line is the signal that would be obtained with the most basic settings in SynthIceSpec (pure species with no mixing). In this wavelength range, of the S-bearing species, only OCS and H2S present absorption features.
