We present new 1.4-to 2.5-ยตm geometric albedo spectra of Charon taken with HST/NICMOS in 1998. These new data provide global coverage of the surface with four spectra at evenly spaced longitudes. The surface of Charon is seen to be globally dominated by H 2 O ice. The data indicate that the ice is i

Formation of the frost layer on Mars' surface in the pictures taken by the Viking 2 Lander is discussed on the basis of the observation of hoar crystals on the snow surface at the Dome Fuji station in the inland area of the Antarctic Ice Sheet on the Earth. The growth rate of a hoar crystal by conde
## Abstract Our main interest concerned the effects of the density distribution on radiation transfer in scattering media. The frost layer in the early growth stage under the control of diffusion was chosen as the media. Numerical analysis of the radiation transfer was carried out by using a modifi

Such disks have been observed around other stars, and these disks are thought to be very commonplace To form planetary systems, small solid particles which condense out of the cooling gas of the primitive solar nebula must around young stars with masses similar to that of the Sun aggregate together
