The Molecular Composition of Shadowed Protosolar Disk Midplanes beyond the Water Snowline

Abstract

The disk midplane temperature is potentially affected by the dust traps/rings. The dust depletion beyond the water snowline will cast a shadow. In this study, we adopt a detailed gas-grain chemical reaction network, and investigate the radial gas and ice abundance distributions of dominant carbon-, oxygen-, and nitrogen-bearing molecules in disks with shadow structures beyond the water snowline around a protosolar-like star. In shadowed disks, the dust grains at around $3-8$ au are predicted to have more than around $5-10$ times amounts of ices of organic molecules such as H${}_2$CO, CH${}_3$OH, and NH${}_2$CHO, saturated hydrocarbon ices such as CH${}_4$ and C${}_2$H${}_6$, in addition to H${}_2$O, CO, CO${}_2$, NH${}_3$, N${}_2$, and HCN ices, compared with those in non-shadowed disks. In the shadowed regions, we find that hydrogenation (especially of CO ice) is the dominant formation mechanism of complex organic molecules. The gas-phase N/O ratios show much larger spatial variations than the gas-phase C/O ratios, thus the N/O ratio is predicted to be a useful tracer of the shadowed region. N${}_2$H${}^{+}$ line emission is a potential tracer of the shadowed region. We conclude that a shadowed region allows the recondensation of key volatiles onto dust grains, provides a region of chemical enrichment of ices that is much closer to the star than within a non-shadowed disk, and may explain to some degree the trapping of O${}_2$ ice in dust grains that formed comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. We discuss that, if formed in a shadowed disk, Jupiter does not need to have migrated vast distances.
