Water Enrichment from Pebble Drift in Disks with Gap-forming Planets
Volatiles like H _2 O are present as ice in solids in the cold outer regions of protoplanetary disks and as vapor in the warm inner regions within the water snow line. Icy pebbles drifting inwards from the outer disk sublimate after crossing the snow line, enriching the inner disk with solid mass an...
