Radiative transfer modeling of protostellar ices shows absorption originates mainly from 1000-2000 au at the cavity-envelope transition, with apparent CO2/H2O and CO/H2O ratios potentially underestimated due to line-of-sight effects.
No change detected in ice absorption bands of EC 53 between phases, with ice abundances higher than typical for embedded protostars.
