The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

This paper models secondary water-vapour discs that form when ice sublimates from warm exo-asteroid belts after the primordial disc is gone. Across a grid of stellar masses, belt masses and locations, the authors show that stars of roughly solar mass and above release nearly all of the belt's ice as gas, mostly early when the star is still bright. That gas viscously spreads and can be accreted by an inner planet, delivering water inventories comparable to or larger than Earth's and potentially creating ocean worlds. The same discs remain bright enough that ALMA, JWST and the ELT could detect them for tens of millions of years even at low mass. The work therefore generalises a Solar-System water-delivery pathway to extrasolar systems and predicts that the gas should already be observable if the belts exist.

Core claim

Systems with host stars of solar mass and above sublimate nearly all of the ice initially present in an exo-asteroid belt, producing secondary water-vapour discs whose accreted mass onto an inner planet can approach the belt's initial ice mass, yielding water inventories comparable to or exceeding Earth's and potentially creating ocean planets; the same discs remain detectable with ALMA, JWST and ELT for several tens of millions of years.

What carries the argument

An extended 1-D viscous-diffusion model (Diffenix) that couples ice sublimation with thermal diffusion inside planetesimals, water photodissociation (stellar plus interstellar, with self-shielding), multi-species advection-diffusion, and parametrised planetary accretion.

Load-bearing premise

The model assumes the gas viscosity parameter lies between 0.001 and 0.1 and that the initial ice-to-rock mass ratio is 20 percent; both numbers strongly control how much gas is produced, how long it survives, and how much water reaches the planet.

What would settle it

A non-detection of water vapour with ALMA or JWST in a sample of young systems that host warm asteroid-belt analogues at the predicted ice-line location and belt mass would falsify the predicted production rates and lifetimes.

Referee Report

3 major / 7 minor

Summary. The paper generalises the secondary water-gas disc scenario of Kral et al. (2024) from the Solar System to a grid of exoplanetary systems. Using an extended 1-D viscous model (Diffenix) that includes ice sublimation with thermal diffusion, multi-species advection, stellar and ISRF photodissociation, and planetary accretion, the authors run 120 simulations spanning stellar mass (0.7–2 M⊙), belt mass, belt location relative to the ice line, viscosity α, and disc dissipation time. They conclude that belts around stars ≳1 M⊙ sublimate nearly all of their ice, that inner planets can accrete water masses comparable to or exceeding Earth’s inventory (potentially forming ocean planets), and that ALMA, JWST and ELT can detect the resulting water vapour for tens of Myr even in low-mass discs.

Significance. If the results hold, the work supplies a concrete, observationally testable pathway for late water delivery to terrestrial planets that does not rely on impacts, and it maps which host stars and belt architectures are most promising. Strengths include a publicly documented code, an explicit solar-system reference comparison, a broad parameter grid, and quantitative line-flux predictions for ALMA and JWST. The addition of thermal diffusion and full photodissociation relative to Kral et al. (2024) is a genuine technical improvement. The detectability forecasts are falsifiable with current facilities and therefore of immediate community value.

major comments (3)
  1. Abstract and §3.3 / Appendix B: the claim that accreted water “can approach the initial ice mass of the belt” rests on two modelling choices that are not robust under realistic architectures. With f_accr fixed at 0.5 (Eq. 8) the geometric upper bound is already half the produced gas; the further approach to ~M_ice is driven by 1-D flux reversal after production ceases (Appendix B), which forces outward-diffused gas to re-enter and be accreted. An outer giant permanently removes that outward flux (as the authors themselves note), and 3-D hydrodynamical capture fractions in low-density discs can be substantially below 0.5. The abstract and conclusions should state the accreted fraction as ≲ f_accr × (produced ice mass), modulated by architecture, rather than “approaching the initial ice mass.” A short sensitivity table (f_accr = 0.1, 0.5; with/without outer sink) would make the delivery cl
  2. §2.3 and Eq. (8): f_accr = 0.5 is taken from protoplanetary-disc hydro studies (Lubow & D’Angelo 2006; Mordasini et al. 2012, etc.). Secondary water discs have surface densities orders of magnitude lower and different thermodynamics; the same capture efficiency is not guaranteed. The paper should either (i) cite or perform a scaling argument for low-Σ discs, or (ii) treat f_accr as a free parameter and show how ocean-planet and Earth-analogue conclusions scale with it. Without that, the planetary-water inventory results remain conditional on an untested extrapolation.
  3. §2.2, §2.7 and §4.1: α is restricted to 10^{-3}–0.1 on the basis of CO debris-disc arguments. Water discs may be less ionised, and the authors themselves explore α = 10^{-5} only in two extra runs (§4.3). Because both shielding lifetime and peak water mass scale strongly with α (Figs. 5, E.1–E.2), the detectability window “several tens of Myr” and the statement that “most discs… should be detectable” should be explicitly conditioned on the adopted α range, with a clear statement of how lifetimes change if α drops by another 1–2 orders of magnitude.
minor comments (7)
  1. Abstract vs. body: the abstract says “Sun’s mass (and higher)” while §3.2.1 and Fig. 4 show a continuous decline below 1 M⊙; a single consistent phrasing (e.g. M⋆ ≳ 1 M⊙) would avoid confusion.
  2. §2.4: the typo correction relative to Kral et al. (2024) for Σ_crit is welcome; please state the corrected numerical value once in the main text (not only in a footnote) so readers do not need to recompute it.
  3. Fig. 3 and similar surface-density plots: the white Σ_crit contour is hard to see on some colour scales; a dashed black contour or a second panel with Σ/Σ_crit would improve readability.
  4. §2.1 / Table 1: the belt width is fixed at Δa/a_belt = 0.5 “to match the asteroid belt.” A one-sentence note that observed warm belts span a range of fractional widths (Matrà et al. 2025) would help readers judge generality.
  5. §4.6: the discussion of protostellar accretion uncertainties is useful but dense; a short quantitative example (e.g. how a 5–10 Myr shift of the luminosity rebound changes total ice sublimated for a 1 M⊙ star) would make the impact clearer.
  6. References: Facchini et al. (2024) and Xie et al. (2025) are cited for water detections; adding the most recent ALMA/JWST water upper limits on debris discs (if any) would strengthen the observational context.
  7. Code availability: Diffenix is stated to be public; please ensure the repository link and a minimal reproduction script for the reference solar-system run are present at acceptance so the 120-run grid can be audited.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No significant circularity: new multi-parameter simulations with thermal diffusion and multi-species photodissociation produce independent quantitative maps; self-citations supply the starting framework but do not force the results by construction.

full rationale

The paper is a parameter-space simulation study that adapts the gas-production and viscous-evolution framework of Kral et al. (2024) and Huet et al. (2025) (overlapping authors) and then adds independent physics (thermal diffusion inside solids, full stellar+ISRF photodissociation, multi-species advection-diffusion). The central numerical claims—near-complete ice sublimation for M⋆ ≳ 1 M⊙, water-disc masses and lifetimes, and accreted masses that can approach the initial ice inventory—are outputs of a 120-run grid, not algebraic restatements of the earlier papers. f_accr = 0.5 is taken from external 3-D hydrodynamical literature, α and f_ice are varied as free parameters, and the 1-D flux-reversal behaviour (Appendix B) is an explicit modelling consequence, not a hidden fit or self-definition. Self-citations are present and load-bearing for the initial premise, but they do not close a definitional loop; the new results remain falsifiable by observation or by multi-planet/3-D hydro calculations. Score 1 reflects only the minor, non-forcing self-citation of the starting mechanism.

Axiom & Free-Parameter Ledger

6 free parameters · 5 axioms · 1 invented entities

The central claims rest on a standard viscous-disc evolution equation, a Clausius-Clapeyron sublimation law, Beer-Lambert shielding, fixed free parameters (ice fraction, viscosity, accretion efficiency, porosity, thermal diffusivity) chosen by hand or taken from prior debris-disc literature, and stellar evolutionary tracks that omit full protostellar accretion. No new particles or forces are introduced; the invented entity is the secondary water-gas disc itself, already proposed in the authors’ 2024 paper and now quantified across a broader domain.

free parameters (6)
  • f_ice (initial ice-to-refractory mass ratio) = 0.2
    Fixed at 0.2; scales total gas mass and accreted water linearly; varied only by rescaling belt mass.
  • α (viscous parameter) = 10^{-3} or 0.1
    Explored at 10^{-3} and 0.1; controls surface density, shielding lifetime and maximum disc mass; motivated by CO-disc estimates but poorly constrained for water.
  • f_accr (accretion efficiency) = 0.5
    Fixed at 0.5 from 3-D hydro literature; multiplies the mass that reaches the planet.
  • K (thermal diffusivity of asteroids) = ~10^{-5} m^{2} s^{-1}
    Set to ~10^{-5} m^{2} s^{-1}; controls the smoothing of the gas-production rate via thermal diffusion.
  • porosity Ψ and pore radius r_p = Ψ≈0.6, r_p≈1 µm
    Ψ ~ 0.6, r_p ~ 1 µm; set the effective sublimation surface area inside solids.
  • σ_H2O (UV absorption cross-section) = 5×10^{-22} m^{2}
    Constant 5×10^{-22} m^{2} used to define Σ_crit for shielding.
axioms (5)
  • domain assumption Gas surface density obeys the 1-D viscous diffusion equation of Lynden-Bell & Pringle with constant α and T ∝ r^{-1/2}.
    Section 2.2; standard for thin discs but neglects 2-D/3-D effects and possible α(r,t) variations.
  • domain assumption Water ice sublimation rate follows the Clausius-Clapeyron equilibrium vapour pressure with fixed enthalpy and reference point.
    Section 2.5; laboratory-based but applied to porous asteroids of unknown microstructure.
  • domain assumption Photodissociation follows Beer-Lambert shielding with a single critical column density; only self-shielding of H2O is considered.
    Section 2.4; geometry of stellar versus ISRF photons is treated, but 3-D shadowing is ignored.
  • domain assumption Stellar luminosity and XUV tracks are given by Cesam2k20 models initialised at final mass with disc-locking and Matt et al. wind braking.
    Section 2.6 and Appendix D; the authors themselves note that full protostellar accretion can alter the luminosity rebound (Section 4.6).
  • ad hoc to paper Belt location is set to 0.7–1.3 times the mid-plane ice line at the moment the protoplanetary disc dissipates.
    Section 2.1; chosen to guarantee comparable insolation across stellar masses.
invented entities (1)
  • Secondary water-gas discs produced by exo-asteroid belts no independent evidence
    purpose: Provide a late-time, impact-free water-delivery channel and an observable gas signature.
    Concept introduced in Kral et al. (2024) for the Solar System and here generalised; independent evidence would be a direct detection of water vapour co-located with a warm debris belt.

Observations of tens of secondary CO gas discs associated with cold exo-Kuiper belts together with other arguments have led Kral et al (2024) to propose that water ice could also sublimate in exo-asteroid belts, suggesting a new pathway for the delivery of water to terrestrial planets, including Earth. We aim to model such water vapour discs and to characterise their physical properties across a range of extrasolar systems with different host stars. We further investigate the implications for the accretion of this water by potential planets located in the inner regions of these systems. We adapt and extend the model of Kral et al (2024) to follow the outgassing, photodissociation, and viscous evolution of water vapour discs. We perform a suite of simulations exploring the parameter space, focusing on the stellar mass, the mass of the parent belt, and its orbital location. We additionally include an inner planet to estimate the mass of water accreted as a function of disc properties and system architecture. We find that systems hosting Sun's mass (and higher) stars produce water vapour very efficiently, sublimating nearly all of the ice initially present in the belt. In most cases, the bulk of the gas mass is generated early, when the stellar luminosity is highest. The amount of water accreted by inner planets can approach the initial ice mass of the belt, leading to planets with water inventories comparable to or exceeding those of Earth, potentially creating ocean planets. We find that water outgassing occurs early after the protoplanetary disc dissipates in systems containing exo-asteroid belts. ALMA, JWST and ELT are capable of detecting this water vapour for several tens of millions of years, even in relatively low-mass water discs. Hence, if such water gas discs are present, they should be detectable with current facilities.
