abstract
Future observations of exoplanets will hopefully reveal detailed constraints on planetary compositions. Recently, we have developed and introduced chemcomp (Schneider & Bitsch 2021a), which simulates the formation of planets in viscously evolving protoplanetary disks by the accretion of pebbles and gas. The chemical composition of planetary building blocks (pebbles and gas) is traced by including a physical approach of the evaporation and condensation of volatiles at evaporation lines. We have now open-sourced the chemcomp code to enable comparisons between planet formation models and observational constraints by the community. The code can be found at https://github.com/AaronDavidSchneider/chemcomp, is easy to use (using configuration files) and comes with a detailed documentation and examples.

Burned to ashes: How the thermal decomposition of refractory organics in the inner protoplanetary disc impacts the gas-phase C/O ratio
Modeling irreversible thermal decomposition of refractory organics into C2H2 lets carbon-rich gas diffuse to about 7 au and raises inner-disk gas-phase C/H and C/O ratios.
