The UV irradiation of interstellar/circumstellar ice analogs is known to lead to the formation of organic compounds such as amino acids and maybe nucleobases. In this work, the mechanisms of formation and distribution of amino acids, chosen as tracers for the organic compounds formed in such experiments, are studied and compared with meteoritic data.
