Water binding energy on silicate grains is twice that on ice, enabling local retention and inheritance for terrestrial planets without outer Solar System delivery.
Ionization rates in the envelopes of NGC-1333 IRAS4A, L1448-C, and L1157 reach 1e-16 to 1e-13 s^{-1}, far above the ISM baseline of 6e-17 s^{-1}.
The paper reviews techniques for measuring protostellar accretion, analyzes methodological differences and caveats in comparing observations with simulations, and outlines next steps for a fuller picture.

Gauging the Impact of Cosmic Ray Feedback on the Stellar Initial Mass Function
Cosmic ray transport in molecular cloud simulations boosts star formation efficiency by up to 43% and yields a top-heavier IMF with a high-mass slope shallower by ~20%.
