Water in Protoplanetary Disks with JWST-MIRI: Spectral Excitation Atlas and Radial Distribution from Temperature Diagnostic Diagrams and Doppler Mapping

This work aims at providing fundamental general tools for the analysis of water spectra as observed in protoplanetary disks with JWST-MIRI. We analyze 25 high-quality spectra from the JDISC Survey reduced with asteroid calibrators as presented in K. M. Pontoppidan et al. (2024). First, we present a...

description This work aims at providing fundamental general tools for the analysis of water spectra as observed in protoplanetary disks with JWST-MIRI. We analyze 25 high-quality spectra from the JDISC Survey reduced with asteroid calibrators as presented in K. M. Pontoppidan et al. (2024). First, we present a spectral atlas to illustrate the clustering of H _2 O transitions from different upper-level energies ( E _u ) and identify single (unblended) transitions that provide the most reliable measurements. With that, we demonstrate two important excitation effects: the opacity saturation of ortho-para line pairs that overlap, and the subthermal excitation of excitation of v  = 1–1 lines scattered across the v  = 0–0 rotational band. Second, we define a shorter list of fundamental lines spanning E _u  =  1500–6000 K to develop simple line-ratio diagnostic diagrams for the radial temperature distribution of water in inner disks, which are interpreted using discrete temperature components and power-law radial gradients. Third, we report the detection of disk-rotation Doppler broadening of molecular lines, which confirms the radial distribution of water emission including, for the first time, the radially extended ≈170–220 K reservoir close to the snowline. The combination of measured line ratios and broadening suggests that drift-dominated disks have shallower temperature gradients with an extended cooler disk surface enriched by ice sublimation. We also report the first detection of an H _2 O-rich inner disk wind from narrow blueshifted absorption in the ro-vibrational lines. We summarize these findings and tools into a general recipe to make the study of water in planet-forming regions reliable, effective, and sustainable for samples of >100 disks.
