The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The load-bearing machinery is a one-dimensional model of the ionized proplyd wind: mass conservation with a constant sound-speed outflow gives n ∝ $r^{-2}$, a precomputed grid of mass-loss rates fixes the wind density from disc radius, host mass, FUV field, and surface density, and a photoionization code computes the radial emissivity profile of every line outside the hydrogen ionization front. Observables are obtained by integrating emissivity over a hemisphere, mimicking an unresolved proplyd. A line-selection metric combines the fractional slope of each line ratio with distance, its Spearman monotonicity, and its luminosity relative to Hα, producing sensitivity tables whose entries log10(f) give the factor by which a ratio changes between $10^{3}$ and $10^{6}$ G0. Three physical effects drive the strongest ratios: emission-volume shifts across the ionization fronts of different metals, critical-density effects that change whether emissivity scales as n or $n^{2}$, and temperature sensitivity of high-excitation lines.
What would settle it
Take spatially unresolved spectra of proplyd candidates in a distant massive cluster where the FUV field can be estimated, subtract the nebular background, and plot [SII] 6731 Å / [OIII] 5007 Å against projected distance from the O star; if the ratio does not rise monotonically by roughly two to three orders of magnitude as the FUV field drops from $10^{6}$ to $10^{3}$ G0, or the gradient disappears once [OI] 6300 Å and background emission are included, the central claim is falsified.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
On the paper's own terms, the discovery is that external photoevaporation leaves a specific, monotonic fingerprint in spatially unresolved emission-line ratios. In the model, the ratio [SII] 6731 Å / [OIII] 5007 Å swings by a factor of 470 as the FUV field goes from $10^{6}$ to $10^{3}$ G0, because the volume where S II dominates shrinks roughly 25-fold and the volume where O III dominates shrinks roughly 7-fold relative to the hydrogen ionization front. Monte Carlo populations of proplyds with realistic stellar masses, disc radii, disc masses, and viewing geometries still show a clean spatial gradient for this ratio and for [NII] 6583 Å / [SII] 6731 Å (f = 8.5), while ratios with f ≈ 4 or 1.2 wash out. The paper therefore claims that line ratios with f ≳ 10 can identify ongoing external photoevaporation in stellar clusters even when individual proplyds are unresolvable, and that this conclusion barely depends on the spectral type of the ionizing star.
Load-bearing premise
The results assume that all chosen diagnostic lines come only from the ionized wind outside the hydrogen ionization front, ignoring emission from the photodissociation region, the disc, and the surrounding nebula.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- Line ratios with f ≳ 10, led by [SII] 6731 Å / [OIII] 5007 Å, should show observable spatial gradients in unresolved cluster spectroscopy.
- The gradient shape is largely insensitive to whether the ionizing star is B0, O7, or O3, so the same diagnostic can be applied to clusters with different OB populations.
- The best diagnostic lines are predicted to lie in the optical and UV, with [OII] 3726 Å particularly promising for future blue-optical and UV facilities.
- The sensitivity tables provide a ready-made list of ratio pairs, letting observers choose the brightest and most sensitive tracers for their wavelength coverage.
- An initial test against five ONC proplyds shows the expected trend of [SII] 6731 Å / [OIII] 4959 Å increasing with projected distance, with one anomalous proplyd attributed to a jet and line-of-sight geometry.
Reading between the lines
- Beyond the paper, the same logic suggests a two-step survey strategy: use unresolved line-ratio gradients to identify clusters with ongoing external photoevaporation, then target those clusters with resolved follow-up spectroscopy.
- Because the model excludes emission from inside the ionization front, the practical diagnostic may be a composite that combines an ionized-wind ratio like [SII]/[OIII] with a PDR tracer such as [OI] 6300 Å to suppress contamination.
- A testable extension would be to search for these gradients in existing wide-field IFU data of known clusters, checking whether the ratio rises monotonically outward once nebular background lines are subtracted.

Referee Report
Summary. This paper presents a fast 1D model of emission lines from the ionized wind of externally photoevaporating protoplanetary discs. The wind density is assumed to follow n ∝ r^{-2} with a constant sound-speed velocity, the mass loss rate is taken from the FRIED grid, and CLOUDY is used to compute radial emissivity profiles. After benchmarking against VLT/MUSE observations of the ONC proplyd 177-341W, the authors run the model over FUV fields 10^3–10^6 G0, rank thousands of lines by a line-selection metric, and produce sensitivity tables for MUSE and broader wavelength ranges. They then perform Monte Carlo cluster simulations with projected distances, inclinations, and PDR obscuration, and argue that line ratios varying by f≳10 over the FUV range should show observable spatial gradients in unresolved cluster spectroscopy. The headline diagnostic is [SII] 6731 Å / [OIII] 5007 Å, which varies by a factor of 470 in the base model.
Significance. The proposed diagnostic addresses a real and timely observational need: external photoevaporation is currently studied mostly in resolved ONC proplyds, while more distant massive clusters require unresolved spectral diagnostics. The model is computationally efficient, and the sensitivity tables, data release, and use of public CLOUDY/FRIED codes make the work reproducible and immediately usable by the community. The physical interpretation in terms of ionization-front radii, critical densities, and temperature sensitivity provides a useful framework for understanding why certain ratios are sensitive to the FUV field. The predictions are falsifiable with existing and planned instruments. The paper is appropriately cautious about the simplicity of the wind model and the exclusion of interior-I-front emission in several places, although the observability analysis does not fully carry this caution through to the detectability claims.
major comments (3)
- [Section 4.3.1, Table 2] The detectability simulations in Section 4.3.1 include projection and inclination effects but omit nebular background emission, even though Section 1 acknowledges that high-UV environments are associated with substantial nebular emission. The benchmark in Table 2 shows that the model underpredicts [SII] 6716 relative to Hα by a factor of about 3.3 (Hα/[SII] observed 400 vs simulated 1300). Since [SII] 6731 is the numerator of the headline ratio [SII]/[OIII], any unresolved background with its own [SII]/[OIII] gradient will dilute or modify the predicted trend. The f≳10 threshold stated in Section 4.3.1 is therefore an internal model threshold, not a demonstrated detectability limit for real unresolved cluster spectroscopy. Please add a contaminant model, or otherwise quantify how the predicted gradients survive the level of background implied by the benchmark discrepancy.
- [Section 3.1, Table 2] The benchmark forces agreement by scaling the mass loss rate by a factor of 1.79 to match the Hα peak radius and by deriving extinction from the observed Hα/Hβ ratio. The Hα peak-position match is therefore enforced by construction. The factor-of-3 discrepancies in [SII] 6716 and [NII] 6583 line ratios show that the model is not calibrated for absolute line ratio levels. This is acceptable for trend predictions, but the paper should state clearly that the benchmark validates the ionization structure rather than the line-ratio normalization, and it should explain why the [SII]/[OIII] predictions are expected to be robust to a factor-of-3 level of contamination from processes not included in the model.
- [Section 4.1.3, Table 5] The observational test of the [SII] 6731 / [OIII] 4959 trend uses only five proplyds and shows very large scatter: 177-341W at 0.049 pc has a ratio of 0.0095, while 173-236 at 0.095 pc has 19. Even after excluding the anomalous 170-337, the implied change over 0.05 pc is far steeper than the base-case model trend in Figure 5. The paper should either provide a quantitative comparison with the model, including the expected Monte Carlo spread in mass loss rates and distances, or describe this as an illustrative anecdote rather than a 'preliminary trend' that supports the model.
minor comments (6)
- [Table 1] The surface density normalization is listed as Σau = 100 g/cm3, but surface density should be in units of g/cm^2; please correct the unit.
- [Section 4.2, Eq. (17)] The statement that r_m/r_IF 'always' increases when moving to larger distance (Y>1, X<1) does not follow from Eq. (17) in general, since X^{1/6}Y^{1/3} can be less than 1 if the mass loss rate falls steeply with distance. The plotted base-case results support the trend, but the 'always' claim should be replaced by a statement about the FRIED-grid dependence.
- [Section 2.3, Eqs. (4)-(6)] The notation for the optically thin limit, 'dτ(r)=0 for all r', is inconsistent with the definition of τ(x,y0) in Eq. (5); please clarify that the limit reduces the projected intensity integrals to volume integrals of j(r).
- [Section 5.4] The caveats list jets, bow shocks, tail emission, abundance variations, and multiple OB stars as additional noise sources, but do not explicitly list nebular background emission from the H II region itself, despite its prominence in the Introduction and its likely contribution to the benchmark [SII] discrepancy.
- [Section 4.1.1, Eqs. (9)-(10)] The line-selection measure RM uses an ad hoc weighting function h(x); the robustness of the selected line set to this choice of weighting is not tested. A brief sensitivity test, or at least a statement that the full tables are available for users to apply other metrics, would strengthen the methodology.
- [Section 5.3] The sentence 'Störzer & Hollenbach (1998); Ballabio et al. (2023) found that G ≳ 5000 G0 the [Oi] 6300 Å line luminosity rises significantly' is missing a word; it should read 'found that for G ≳ 5000 G0 ...'.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: predicted line ratios are independent CLOUDY/FRIED outputs, not fitted to the trends they claim to diagnose.
full rationale
The derivation chain is: the FRIED grid supplies a mass-loss rate for the proplyd/UV-source parameters; mass conservation gives an n∝r^-2 wind density; CLOUDY performs the photoionization/radiative-transfer calculation and returns radial emissivities; line ratios are integrated volume luminosities. Section 3 benchmarks against the ONC proplyd 177-341W by rescaling the FRIED mass-loss rate by 1.79 so that the H-alpha intensity-peak radius matches the observed 82 au and by normalizing the H-alpha intensity, but those normalizations are not carried into the Section 4.1 base-case line-ratio predictions, and the observed line-ratio trends are never used as fitting constraints. The line-selection metric RM_ij in Section 4.1.1 ranks model outputs by sensitivity and luminosity; reporting the top-ranked ratios is a data-reduction/ranking step, not a circular derivation, and Sections 4.2.1-4.2.4 independently attribute the trends to ionization-front radii, critical densities, and temperature. The Monte Carlo observability study in Section 4.3 uses the same model plus projection, inclination, and PDR obscuration; it is an internal feasibility estimate with explicit caveats in Section 5.4, not a fitted quantity renamed as a prediction. The FRIED grid and MUSE observations are from overlapping author groups, but they are public, independently tested resources, and no uniqueness theorem or load-bearing self-citation forces the conclusions. The exclusion of [OI] 6300, PDR/interior emission, and nebular background is a completeness limitation correctly acknowledged in Sections 5.3 and 5.4, not a circular step.

abstract
External photoevaporation of protoplanetary discs, by massive O stars in stellar clusters, is thought to be a significant process in the evolution of a disc. It has been shown to result in significant mass loss and disc truncation, ultimately reducing the lifetime of the discs, and possibly affecting potential planet populations. It is a well-studied process in the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) where the cometary morphology of proplyds is spatially resolvable due to its proximity to Earth. However, we need to study external photoevaporation in additional stellar clusters to better understand its prevalence and significance more globally. Unfortunately, more massive stellar clusters where the majority of stars form are much farther away than the ONC. In these more distant clusters the proplyds are spatially unresolvable with current facilities, hence the cometary morphology is not a useful identification of external photoevaporation. Therefore, in order to identify and interpret external photoevaporation, the only observations we have are of spatially unresolved emission lines. To resolve this issue we have used the CLOUDY code to develop an approximate general model of the emission lines emanating from the hot ionized wind of a proplyd. We have used the model to determine which line ratios are most sensitive to the distance from an OB star, and found that the most sensitive line ratios vary by multiple orders of magnitude over an FUV field of between 10$^3$ G$_0$ to 10$^6$ G$_0$. By identifying spatial gradients of line ratios in stellar clusters, we can identify regions of ongoing external photoevaporation.
