[astro-ph.EP] The composition of rocky planets depends on the dust in their natal protoplanetary disk (PPD), potentially containing water ice. Crystalline water ice was detected in the PPD d216-0939 in […]
![Vertical cut through the best-fit disk model on a logarithmic radial scale. Shown are temperatures, where the gas density, ϱdisk, exceeds an assumed ISM density of ϱISM = 2.7 × 10−24 g cm−3 (Ferrière 2001) by a factor of 1000. The snowline at Tsnow = 170 K and the 100 K-line, as well as the unity optical depth lines at a wavelength of 3.1 µm (computed for the best-fit model described in Sect. 5.2.2) measured from the star to the observer and from observer to the star, illustrate the temperature and dust density structure of the disk. -- [astro-ph.EP]](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Spatial.png?resize=1200%2C715&ssl=1)
