In dense inter- and circumstellar clouds, molecules are maintained in the gas phase at temperatures well below their thermal accretion value, and the UV photodesorption of ice has been proposed as an efficient non-thermal desorption mechanism explaining this observation. The present work aims at studying the UV photodesorption yield of solid O2, a molecule considered as a starting point in the for...
