Water UV-shielding in the Terrestrial Planet-forming Zone: Implications from Water Emission

Abstract: Mid-infrared spectroscopy is one of the few ways to observe the composition of the terrestrial planet-forming zone, the inner few astronomical units, of protoplanetary disks. The species currently detected in the disk atmosphere, for example, CO, CO2, H2O, and C2H2, are theoretically enough to constrain the C/O ratio on the disk surface. However, thermochemical models have difficulties in reproducing the full array of detected species in the mid-infrared simultaneously. In an effort to get closer to the observ… Show more

“…In order to determine which water lines will be of high interest, we run a quick non-LTE ray-tracing program (Bosman et al 2017, Appendix B) that estimates the flux of water lines over the full extent of the MIRI wavelength range. We find that IR bright H 2 O lines emit high up in the disk, proving to be optically thick across all IR wavelengths (see A. D. Bosman et al 2022, in using the relative spatial contribution from where each line is emitting from, as calculated by DALI.…”

“…These two processes are required in order for a thermochemical calculation to reproduce water line emission and observed excitation temperatures from Spitzer. Using the same modeling setup, Bosman et al (2022) show that CO 2 -to-H 2 O ratios can also be achieved, strengthened by additional depletion of excess oxygen beyond the water snowline. S. Duval et al (2022, in preparation) will focus on the impact of water UV-shielding on the chemical composition of the terrestrial planet-forming region.…”
