- Abstract
- The ortho-to-para ratios (OPRs) of interstellar molecules with symmetric hydrogen nuclei are thought to provide information about their thermal and chemical history. The OPR of formaldehyde (H$_{2}$CO) is sometimes used to predict whether this compound formed on a cold interstellar grain or in the gas phase at warmer temperatures, but the full meaning of the OPR detected in interstellar space is still a topic of debate. This work aims to unravel more information about the OPR of H$_{2}$CO formed on icy interstellar grains through laboratory experiments. In these experiments, the OPR of H$_{2}$CO is measured using submillimeter spectroscopy after low-temperature formation by ultraviolet photolysis of interstellar ice analog samples containing water (H$_{2}$O), carbon monoxide (CO), and/or methanol (CH$_{3}$OH). The experimental approach and preliminary results will be discussed.
