JWST Reveals Excess Cool Water near the Snow Line in Compact Disks, Consistent with Pebble Drift

JWST Reveals Excess Cool Water near the Snow Line in Compact Disks, Consistent with Pebble Drift

Previous analyses of mid-infrared water spectra from young protoplanetary disks observed with the Spitzer-IRS found an anticorrelation between water luminosity and the millimeter dust disk radius observed with ALMA. This trend was suggested to be evidence for a fundamental process of inner disk wate...
