10. Snow Lines and Planet Formation “snow line” = boundary where volatiles condense out of gas phase 10 Hayashi 1981 H 2 O snow line icy grains bare grains rocky planetesimals icy planetesimals Rocky Planets Gas Giants Ice Giants

11. Snow Line Implications 11 Oberg et al. 2011 enhance planetesimal formation – dramatically increase available solids – increase grain stickiness (icy mantles)  multiple snow lines from species with low condensation temps influence planetesimal bulk composition -C/O in planetary atmospheres -H 2 O on planets (habitability)

12. radial and vertical gradients CO “snow line” = CO “snow surface” -impossible to discern in (optically thick) CO emission -may be teased out with a disk structure model and extensive analysis of resolved multi-transition, multi-isotope CO data (Qi et al. 2011) Disks are 3D Objects 12

13. CO Snow Line and N 2 H + Chemistry use chemical selectivity to advantage N 2 H + is abundant only where CO highly depleted – CO inhibits N 2 H + formation – CO speeds up N 2 H + destruction – CO freezes out at about 20 K – observed in pre-stellar cores 13

14. Chemical Effect of CO Freeze-Out 14 HCO + H 2 CO N2H+N2H+ T > CO freeze-out T < CO freeze-out N2H+N2H+ HCO + H 2 CO K. Oberg

16. The TW Hya Disk System Weinberger et al. 2002 closest gas-rich circumstellar disk (~50 pc) – M * ~ 0.8 M , age 3-10 Myr, – southern, isolated, viewed nearly face-on – many studies with the SMA – good model of (outer) disk physical structure 16 Qi, Wilner et al. 2008, Andrews, Wilner et al. 2012 Hughes, Wilner et al. 2011

21. Snow Lines in Protoplanetary Disks a series of “snow lines” arise from condensation fronts – impacts planetesimal formation and composition enhanced N 2 H + abundance expected at CO freeze-out – a robust chemical marker for CO snow line 21 ALMA imaging of TW Hya CO snow line at 30 AU validates concept easy to extend to probe thermal effects and chemistry, e.g. do complex organics emerge from CO ice? need to identify chemical marker(s) for the H 2 O snow line

22. Origins of Organics in Disks 22 2013.0.00114.S PI Oberg H 2 CO and CH 3 OH form from hydrogenation of CO ice but H 2 CO may also form through gas-phase pathways given the location of CO snow line, easy to discriminate Cycle 2 simulations of TW Hya H 2 CO 3 1,2 -2 1,1 emission (241.7 GHz)
