Analysis of potential complex organic molecules (COMs) formed as a result of irradiating hydroxylamine-containing ices. Top panel: difference spectrum (i.e. the initial pre-irradiation spectrum subtracted from the final spectrum acquired after the end of the irradiation process) of the ternary NH₂OH:H₂O:CO ice (red solid trace). Also shown is the spectrum of neat hydroxylamine (grey dashed trace) to compare against the negative peaks associated with molecular destruction in the difference spectrum. Bottom panel: IR absorption spectra of candidate COM products assembled from the literature (Gerakines et al. 1996; Brucato et al. 2006; Maté et al. 2011; Bergantini et al. 2014; Timón et al. 2021). From top to bottom, these are spectra of formaldehyde, formic acid, formamide, urea, and neutral (dashed line) and zwitterionic (solid line) glycine.
