Deep Search for Molecular Oxygen in TW Hya
The dominant form of oxygen in cold molecular clouds is gas-phase carbon monoxide (CO) and ice-phase water (H _2 O). Yet, in planet-forming disks around young stars, gas-phase CO and H _2 O are less abundant relative to their interstellar medium values, and no other major oxygen-carrying molecules h...
