Planet formation is strongly influenced by the composition and distribution of volatiles within protoplanetary disks. With JWST, it is now possible to obtain direct observational constraints on disk ices, as recently demonstrated by the detection of ice absorption features towards the edge-on HH 48 NE disk as part of the Ice Age Early Release Science program. Here, we introduce a new radiative transfer modeling framework designed to retrieve the composition and mixing status of disk ices using their band profiles, and apply it to interpret the H2O, CO2, and CO ice bands observed towards the HH 48 NE disk. We show that the ices are largely present as mixtures, with strong evidence for CO trapping in both H2O and CO2 ice. The HH 48 NE disk ice composition (pure vs. polar vs. apolar fractions) is markedly different from earlier protostellar stages, implying thermal and/or chemical reprocessing during the formation or evolution of the disk. We infer low ice-phase C/O ratios around 0.1 throughout the disk, and also demonstrate that the mixing and entrapment of disk ices can dramatically affect the radial dependence of the C/O ratio. It is therefore imperative that realistic disk ice compositions are considered when comparing planetary compositions with potential formation scenarios, which will fortunately be possible for an increasing number of disks with JWST.

Spatial distribution of water ice in the protoplanetary silhouette disk d216-0939

Planetesimal Formation Across the Stellar Mass Spectrum and its Influence on Exoplanet-Inherited Volatile Budgets
Discs around 0.1 M⊙ M-dwarfs form all their planetesimals within the 26Al half-life, so the resulting planetesimals—and likely rocky planets—are dehydrated and volatile-poor.

The majority of hot Jupiters formed beyond the water ice line
At least six of nine hot Jupiters are consistent with forming beyond the water ice line, implying inward migration with dynamical scattering for many of them.

On Linking Planet Formation Models, Protoplanetary Disk Properties, and Mature Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres
A workshop synthesis concludes that linking gas giant exoplanet atmospheres to formation histories requires multiple elemental abundance tracers, not a single C/O ratio, and identifies the most pressing open questions.
