  2. JWST reveals excess cool water near the #snowline in compact disks, consistent with pebble drift: arxiv.org/abs/2307.03846 -> "JWST-MIRI spectra of four disks, two compact and two large with multiple radial gaps, selected to test the scenario that water vapor inside the snowline is regulated by pebble drift. [...] These spectra clearly reveal excess emission in the low-energy lines in compact disks, compared to the large disks, establishing the presence of a cooler component with T≈ 170-400 K".
