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 device is the global spectral decomposition: laboratory ice absorbance profiles, taken from published measurements at fixed temperatures and mixture ratios, are convolved to the telescope resolution and summed to reproduce the observed optical-depth spectrum; each component's column density then follows from the band-strength relation $N = (1/A)\int \tau\,d\nu$, where $A$ is the laboratory band strength. The key named ingredients are the water-rich mixture H$_2$O:CO:NH$_3$:CO$_2$:CH$_3$OH = 100:20:20:14:10 at 10 K, the CO:CO$_2$ = 100:70 and CH$_3$OH:CO$_2$ = 1:2 mixtures used for the CO$_2$ bending feature, and a silicate-subtraction step that couples the GCS 3 silicate template with synthetic amorphous olivine and pyroxene profiles. This machinery lets the authors attribute each absorption band to an intrinsic ice carrier and converts the fitted profiles into the column densities of Tables 3 and 4. The H$_2$O libration mode (10–20 µm) serves as the anchor because it is less blended than the stretch and bend modes, and the agreement between stretch- and libration-derived columns is what validates the whole decomposition.
What would settle it
A JWST spectrum of one of these sources that resolves both water bands without saturation, combined with a laboratory band-strength measurement of the water-rich mixture at 10–20 K, would settle whether the simultaneous H$_2$O column densities and the derived abundances are correct.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
On its own terms, the paper establishes a reliable decomposition of the 2.5–30 µm ice absorption toward four low-mass protostars. After removing the continuum and the 9.7 and 18 µm silicate bands, using both a template and synthetic amorphous olivine and pyroxene profiles, the authors fit all remaining absorption with laboratory ice absorbance data convolved to each instrument's resolution. The fit includes H$_2$O-rich mixtures (H$_2$O:CO:NH$_3$:CO$_2$:CH$_3$OH = 100:20:20:14:10 at 10 K), CO- and CH$_3$OH-mixed CO$_2$ ices, pure CO$_2$, pure and mixed CO with warm gas CO, and pure NH$_3$, CH$_3$OH, HCOOH, CH$_3$CHO, CH$_3$CH$_2$OH, and NH$_4^+$ profiles. The simultaneous derivation of the H$_2$O column from the 3.05 µm stretch and 13.6 µm libration modes yields values that agree within uncertainties, justifying the use of the libration mode as the abundance reference. The same fit gives CO$_2$ to H$_2$O ratios near 0.3 in all sources and a CO to H$_2$O ratio that decreases from 0.23 in the Class 0 source to 0.10–0.14 in the Class I sources. Toward RNO 91, a resolved double-peaked 15.2 µm CO$_2$ feature is interpreted as pure CO$_2$ ice left behind after thermal evaporation of CO, making it a possible infrared tracer of recent accretion bursts.
Load-bearing premise
The whole analysis rests on the assumption that the real ice mantles are exactly described by the laboratory mixture profiles and band strengths chosen here, with fixed ratios such as H$_2$O:CO:NH$_3$:CO$_2$:CH$_3$OH = 100:20:20:14:10 at 10 K that the paper never varies; if the true ice composition, temperature, or morphology differs, every derived column density and abundance in Tables 3 and 4 shifts, and the paper's own 6–8 µm residual shows the decomposition is not closed.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- The combined 2.5–30 µm analysis yields new ice inventories for Per-emb 25, Ced 110 IRS4, B1 a, and RNO 91, with column densities and abundances listed in Tables 3 and 4.
- The agreement between the H$_2$O stretch- and libration-mode columns supports using the 13.6 µm libration band as the abundance reference, avoiding contamination by 3 µm absorptions from NH$_3$ and CH$_3$OH.
- The decrease in CO ice abundance from the Class 0 source to the Class I sources supports the scenario in which protostellar heating sublimates CO ice into the gas phase as the system evolves.
- The resolved double-peaked 15.2 µm CO$_2$ feature toward RNO 91 indicates pure CO$_2$ ice left after thermal processing, a potential infrared tracer of episodic accretion and recent accretion bursts.
- The silicate-subtraction and global-fitting method applies directly to JWST ice spectra, where higher spectral resolution can address the absorption that remains unattributed in the 6–8 µm range.
Reading between the lines
- If the same stretch-versus-libration water check were run on a large JWST sample, systematic differences between the two bands would quantify how much NH$_3$ and CH$_3$OH contamination actually hides inside the 3 µm water band.
- Because the decomposition fixes the mixture ratios without testing alternatives, the abundances in Tables 3 and 4 should be read as conditional on those laboratory recipes; new band-strength measurements for realistic multi-component ices could re-scale all of them.
- The pure CO$_2$ signature in RNO 91 predicts that other protostars with known recent accretion bursts should also show the double-peaked 15.2 µm feature, while quiescent low-mass protostars should not.
- The unattributed 6–8 µm residual suggests the ice inventory is not closed; high-resolution MIRI spectra of the same targets could identify additional carriers such as CH$_4$ or NH$_4^+$ in that region.

Referee Report
Summary. The paper presents combined 2.5–30 μm AKARI/IRC and Spitzer/IRS spectra of four low-mass protostars (Per-emb 25, Ced 110 IRS4, B1 a, and RNO 91) and analyzes the ice absorption features by fitting experimental laboratory profiles. The authors determine continua, subtract silicate absorption using a GCS 3 template and a synthetic amorphous olivine/pyroxene profile, and then globally fit ice components including H2O (stretch, bend, and libration), CO2, CO, NH3, CH3OH, HCOOH, CH3CHO, CH4, and NH4+. They derive column densities and report ice abundances relative to H2O (calculated from the libration mode), compare with previous AKARI and Spitzer results, identify a tentative decrease in CO ice abundance from Class 0 to Class I, and suggest that pure CO2 in RNO 91 traces a past accretion burst. The paper also states the method can be applied to JWST ice spectra.
Significance. If the derived column densities are accurate, this work provides new ice inventories for four protostars, including the first simultaneous use of the H2O stretch and libration modes in this sample and an analysis of the CO2 bending mode rather than the unresolved AKARI stretching mode. The comparison with dense-cloud JWST observations is useful, and the identification of pure CO2 in RNO91 is a concrete, potentially interesting result. The authors are also honest about several known limitations, such as the RNO91 stretch-mode mismatch and the unattributed 6–8 μm residual. However, the central evolutionary claim (CO ice decreasing from Class 0 to I) is not supported by the four-source sample and the quoted statistical-only uncertainties, and the fixed laboratory mixture ratios used in the decomposition are never tested. The paper's strengths are the careful data combination and a transparent fitting approach, but the overreach in the abstract and summary requires revision.
major comments (4)
- [§5, Table 4, Abstract, §6] Section 5 states that "It is insufficient to reveal clear trends linked to the differences in ice abundances across only the four samples and the evolutionary stages of protostars," yet the Abstract and Section 6 repeat the CO ice abundance decrease as a finding. With only four sources, and with Ced 110 IRS4 (Class 0/I) at X(CO)=0.18±0.04 overlapping B1-a (0.10±0.01) and RNO 91 (0.14±0.06) within 2σ, the ordering is not statistically robust. Please either remove the trend claim from the Abstract/Summary or support it with a quantitative significance test (e.g., bootstrap or weighted regression) that includes systematic uncertainties.
- [§4.2, Table 2, Eq. (1)] The CO ice decomposition at 4.67 μm uses fixed laboratory mixture ratios (H2O-rich 100:20:20:14:10, CO:CO2=100:70, CO:CH3OH=1:1; Table 2) that are never varied, although Eq. (1) uses mixture-specific band strengths. Different published protostellar ice mixtures would redistribute N(CO) among components and change the total. The authors should test the sensitivity by refitting with alternative mixtures (e.g., those in Boogert et al. 2015 or Rocha et al. 2025) and report the range of resulting CO abundances, since this is load-bearing for the claimed evolutionary trend.
- [§3.1, Table 3] The uncertainties in Table 3 are explicitly based only on statistical errors in the spectra. The H2O libration-mode column densities, which are the denominators for all abundances in Table 4, depend on the silicate-template scaling and the 18–30 μm continuum anchoring described in Section 3.1, and these systematic errors are not propagated. The authors should quantify the continuum/silicate systematic uncertainty (e.g., by varying the silicate template, the fitting ranges, and the AKARI-to-Spitzer scaling) and add it in quadrature to the reported values, or at least provide a quantitative estimate of its magnitude.
- [§4.2] The paper reports that "a significant fraction of the 6−8 μm absorption remains unattributed," so the fitted model does not fully describe the spectra. This incomplete modeling can bias the scaling of other components, particularly CH3OH and NH4+, and its potential effect on the derived column densities should be discussed or bounded. Even if the 6–8 μm residual does not directly affect the CO measurement at 4.67 μm, it indicates that the global fit is not closed, which should be acknowledged as a systematic limitation in the abundance analysis.
minor comments (5)
- [Throughout text and figure captions] The manuscript contains many corrupted character sequences (e.g., lines of "/uni00000015/uni00000011/..." after the references and in Figures 1–9 captions). These must be cleaned before publication, as they currently appear as broken glyph placeholders.
- [§3.1] "six-order polynomial" should be "sixth-order polynomial," and "third-to-fourth-order" should be "third- to fourth-order."
- [§2.1] "We summarized their positions" should be "We summarize their positions" for consistency with the present-tense style used elsewhere.
- [§3.1, Figure 2 caption] The phrase "The fitted laboratory profiles well cover the broad 13 μm absorption" is awkward; consider "The fitted laboratory profiles cover the broad 13 μm absorption well."
- [Table 4 caption] The table lists comparison values with footnote markers (e.g., "0.19b−0.42c") but the footnote letters are not explained in the caption; please specify which references each marker corresponds to.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: ice column densities are derived by fitting external laboratory absorbance profiles to observed spectra via Eq. (1), and the CO ice evolutionary trend is an interpretation of those fitted values, not an input to the fit.
full rationale
The paper's central derivation is a spectral decomposition: observed optical depth spectra are fitted with experimental ice absorbance profiles (Gerakines et al. 1995; Ehrenfreund et al. 1996; Fraser & van Dishoeck 2004), and column densities are computed as N = integral(tau dnu)/A in Eq. (1). The laboratory band strengths and profile shapes are independent external inputs, not outputs of this paper, and the observed spectra are independent of the derived abundances. The H2O libration-mode column density used as the abundance denominator comes from a separate vibrational mode than the stretch-mode check, and the CO column density comes from the 4.67 micron stretching mode, so the reported X(CO) = N(CO)/N(H2O) is not self-defined. The only self-citations (Kim et al. 2022) concern data reduction and the spectral-convolution methodology for AKARI IRC spectra; they carry method, not the conclusion. The paper also explicitly concedes the statistical limitation of its evolutionary claim: 'It is insufficient to reveal clear trends linked to the differences in ice abundances across only the four samples and the evolutionary stages of protostars.' That caveat concerns sample size and systematic assumptions, not circularity. The fixed laboratory mixture ratios in Table 2 are untested assumptions that could shift the derived values, but a dependence on external inputs is not the same as the derivation reducing to its own conclusion by construction. No self-definitional step, fitted-input-called-prediction step, or load-bearing self-citation chain is present.

abstract
We present the combined 2.5$-$30$\mu$m spectra of four protostars acquired with the infrared camera and the infrared spectrograph on board the AKARI and Spitzer space telescopes, respectively. To analyze the ice absorption features in the 8$-$22$\mu$m, we first performed a continuum determination process on mid-infrared spectra and applied a method to subtract the silicate absorption. We conducted a global fitting process to the absorption features in the combined infrared spectra using the experimental ice absorbance data to identify the intrinsic absorption of each ice component. We first derived the H$_{2}$O ice column densities of both stretch and libration modes at 3.05$\mu$m and 13.6$\mu$m simultaneously. We also identified the absorption features containing NH$_{3}$, CH$_{3}$OH, CO$_{2}$, and CO and decomposed their mixed components and compared their ice abundances at different evolutionary stages of the protostars. We explored possible absorptions of the organic ice species such as HCOOH, CH$_{3}$CHO, and CH$_{3}$CH$_{2}$OH in the mid-infrared ranges. The ice analysis method developed in this study can be applied to the ice spectra obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope.
