Older Upper Scorpius disks show reduced molecular emission and hints of higher inner-gas C/O ratios than young disks, indicating chemical evolution consistent with pebble drift.
Observations of the HK Tau binary with JWST reveal gas-phase molecular lines in the low-inclination primary and ice absorption features in the edge-on secondary, enabled by their differing inclinations.
JWST observations of Sz 65 and Sz 66 reveal higher cold-to-hot water ratios in the secondary disk, attributed to its unstructured dust disk enabling efficient pebble drift across the snow line.
JWST spectra of EC 53 indicate CO fundamental and H2O bending absorption weaken by ~2 during burst due to continuum dilution, with relative veiling yielding hot-continuum ratios of 2.9 and 1.71 and viscous-disk accretion-rate ratios of ~3.6 and ~2.0.
Accretion increases observable water mass in disks by expanding the emitting area via higher central luminosity, while viscous heating has no effect.
Updated DALI models reproduce observed C2H2 fluxes with solar C/O and find the C2H2/H2O flux ratio sensitive to elemental abundances and small-grain abundance in planet-forming disk regions.
