Water-Ice Optical Constants Refine Disk Radiative Transfer Models

A new study highlights how temperature- and history-dependent optical constants of H2O ice shape radiative transfer results in protoplanetary disks. Incorporating self-consistent laboratory spectra can sharpen interpretations of disk observations and ice evolution.
