Theoretical Water Binding Energy Distribution and Snowline in Protoplanetary Disks

Water is one of the most important and abundant molecules in star-forming regions. In protoplanetary disks, where planets and comets form, H _2 O is in a gas or solid form, depending on the dust temperature, i.e., the distance from the center and its binding energy (BE). Not surprisingly, several ex...
