The pith

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

This paper argues that the timing and outcome of planetesimal formation—the first solid building blocks of planets—depends sharply on the parent cloud and stellar mass. In discs around 0.1-solar-mass M-dwarfs, planetesimals form only in the Class II phase but extremely fast, within 500,000 years, inside the half-life of aluminium-26. If 26Al is present, every one of those planetesimals is dehydrated by internal radiogenic heating, so the rocky planets assembled from them inherit a volatile-poor, likely atmosphere-poor composition. Around more massive stars, planetesimals form in two episodes (infall and Class II), producing water-wet and dry populations that could explain the carbonaceous/non-carbonaceous dichotomy in the Solar System. The claim matters because it links the stellar mass spectrum directly to exoplanet volatile budgets and offers a formation-level explanation for the apparent lack of atmospheres on rocky worlds around M-dwarfs.

Core claim

The central discovery is a mass-dependent bifurcation in planetesimal formation. In 1D simulations that combine cloud collapse, viscous disc evolution, dust growth, and streaming-instability planetesimal formation at the water snowline, discs around stars of 0.3 solar masses or more form an early 'Reservoir I' during infall and a later 'Reservoir II' in the Class II phase. The 0.1-solar-mass M-dwarf disc skips the infall reservoir, but its Class II planetesimal formation is so rapid—all within 500,000 years and well under the 26Al half-life—that the whole population is chemically homogeneous and dehydrated. The authors conclude that exoplanets built from these planetesimals will be born vola

What carries the argument

The machinery is a one-dimensional protoplanetary disc model that couples a collapsing isothermal cloud with viscous disc evolution, two-population dust growth, water ice sublimation and condensation (including the cold-finger effect), and a planetesimal formation rate at the water snowline driven by the streaming instability. Planetesimal formation requires a traffic jam of pebbles at the snowline plus inward diffusion of water vapour; the central clock is the 26Al half-life (~700,000 years), which decides whether newly formed planetesimals are radiogenically dehydrated or remain water-bearing. The model's key work is tracking when and where planetesimals form for different cloud masses and

Load-bearing premise

Every planetesimal born within the 26Al half-life is dehydrated, even though the paper notes in Section 4.1 that smaller planetesimals will instead cool; the simulations track formation timing and mass, not planetesimal size or internal thermal evolution.

What would settle it

A calculation that resolves each formed planetesimal's internal temperature as a function of its radius: if bodies smaller than a few kilometres stay below the dehydration temperature, the all-planetesimals-dry conclusion fails. Alternatively, a rocky planet around an M-dwarf with a water-rich atmosphere or hydrated surface would contradict the volatile-poor prediction, though later delivery and atmospheric escape would need to be ruled out.

If this is right

  • Rocky planets forming around 0.1-solar-mass M-dwarfs inherit dehydrated, volatile-poor planetesimals, so they are expected to lack substantial primordial atmospheres and surface water.
  • Around stars born from clouds of at least 0.3 solar masses, two temporally separated planetesimal reservoirs (water-wet and dry) form, providing a generic mechanism for compositional heterogeneity like the Solar System's carbonaceous/non-carbonaceous dichotomy.
  • Planetesimal belts produced at the migrating snowline have fractional widths near unity, matching the upper end of observed debris-disc belts and implying that dynamical sculpting is needed to produce narrower observed belts.
  • Because discs around low-mass M-dwarfs evolve much faster, a common t=0 for disc evolution does not exist across the stellar mass spectrum; the same chronological age corresponds to different evolutionary stages.
  • The 0.1-solar-mass disc depletes its dust reservoir to 1% of its maximum in about 0.4 million years, so pebble accretion cannot sustain planetary growth and growth must proceed through collisional accumulation.
  • If rocky planets around low-mass M-dwarfs are indeed volatile-poor, the formation pathway presented here could explain the lack of rocky planet atmospheres reported from JWST observations.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • An extension the authors leave implicit: if the dehydration step is size-dependent, the 'all planetesimals are dry' conclusion may soften to 'all planetesimals above a few kilometres in radius are dry', since the model does not resolve planetesimal internal thermal evolution.
  • The same early-formation mechanism may apply to brown-dwarf discs, pushing volatile depletion to even lower masses—a direct extension not simulated in this paper.
  • A testable statistical prediction follows: rocky planets around M-dwarfs should show systematically lower atmospheric and surface water abundances than planets around Sun-like stars, provided later volatile delivery and atmospheric escape are secondary.
  • The rapid 26Al dehydration around M-dwarfs implies that water inventories of habitable-zone planets around very low-mass stars may be set before the planet itself assembles, shifting attention from late volatile delivery to early radiogenic processing.

Referee Report

2 major / 3 minor

Summary. This paper uses 1D viscously evolving disc models coupled to cloud collapse and snowline planetesimal formation (the DD18/L21 framework) to study how planetesimal formation timing, location, and composition vary across stellar masses from 0.1 to 1.4 M_sun, under three cloud rotation rates. It reports that the 0.1 M_sun cloud evolves fastest, forming planetesimals within about 500 kyr, i.e. before the 26Al half-life, while higher-mass clouds form planetesimals in both an infall phase (Reservoir I) and a later Class II phase (Reservoir II). The paper interprets the fast M-dwarf planetesimal formation as producing dehydrated planetesimals and therefore volatile-poor rocky planets, potentially explaining the lack of M-dwarf rocky exoplanet atmospheres seen by JWST. It also uses the simulations to discuss the difficulty of defining a common t=0 across stellar masses and to compare with the observed Mdot_acc-Mstar relation.

Significance. If the dehydration step can be closed, the paper would be a useful and important contribution: it is a forward simulation, not a fit to the JWST non-detections, and it links disc formation physics to exoplanet volatile budgets. The fast-evolution result for the 0.1 M_sun case is physically plausible and is shown to be robust across the explored cloud rotation rates. The paper also makes good use of observational comparisons, including the Mdot-Mstar relation and pebble-flux estimates, and is candid about model limitations such as gravitational instability, substructure, and the 1D temperature treatment. The main weakness is that the model's central chemical conclusion relies on an unmodeled size-dependent process, and this is acknowledged in the text itself.

major comments (2)
  1. [§4.1–§4.2, §5(iii)] The conclusion that all planetesimals around 0.1 M_sun stars are dehydrated is not supported by the model as presented. Eq. (1) forms only a planetesimal surface density; the model tracks no planetesimal sizes or internal thermal evolution. The manuscript itself states in §4.1 that 'smaller planetesimals will instead cool (L21)' and in §4.2 that the precise composition 'will depend strongly on ... the size of planetesimals (L21)', and that internal evolution is 'beyond the scope of this work'. Because L21's dehydration threshold depends on radius, 26Al content, and formation time, 'formed before τ_26Al' does not imply 'dehydrated' for all bodies. This is the load-bearing step for conclusion (iii) and for the abstract's volatile-poor/JWST claim. The authors should either post-process the planetesimal population with an internal-temperature model or a size distribution and quantify the deh
  2. [Abstract vs §4.3.1 and Fig. 6] The abstract states that 'only the disc around low-mass M-dwarfs ... fails to form them during the infall phase', but this is true only for the baseline rotation rate Ω0 = Ω_DD18. Section 4.3.1 explicitly states that at Ω0 = 4Ω_DD18 no system forms planetesimals during infall, and Fig. 6 shows that intermediate-mass clouds also lose their infall-phase reservoir at 2Ω_DD18. The headline claim should be qualified by the cloud rotation parameter, or the abstract should be revised to avoid overgeneralizing the baseline result.
minor comments (3)
  1. [§2.2, Eq. (4)] Ω0 is printed as 7×10^5 rad s^-1; from Table 1 and the surrounding text it should be 7×10^-15 rad s^-1. Please correct the exponent.
  2. [§4.3.1 and Fig. 6] The statement that all systems except 0.1 M_sun produce planetesimals during infall is valid only for Ω_DD18; the notation should make this explicit wherever the claim appears.
  3. [§4.2] The pebble-accretion estimate (efficiency ~1e-5, based on Ormel & Liu 2018) is presented without showing the parameter evaluation. A short formula or table would help readers check the assumed embryo mass, St ~ 1e-3, and disc aspect ratio.

Circularity Check

1 steps flagged

Forward formation-timing simulation is not fit to JWST; however, the load-bearing step 'formed within 26Al half-life => all planetesimals are dehydrated' is imported from a same-group citation (L21) whose own size caveat is never modeled.

specific steps
  1. self citation load bearing [§4.1–4.2, especially 'These planetesimals around low-mass M-dwarfs... will all devolatise' and Fig. 5; dehydration step relies on L21 while Eq. (1) supplies only formation rates.]
    "The internal evolution of these planetesimals will be similar to Reservoir I planetesimals formed in the Solar System (L21) - they will be dry due to internal radiogenic heating. ... although smaller planetesimals will instead cool (L21). ... The precise chemical composition of these planetesimals will depend strongly on ... the size of planetesimals (L21)."

    The paper's prediction that all 0.1 M_sun planetesimals are dehydrated is load-bearing for the volatile-poor exoplanet conclusion (conclusion iii). But the simulation outputs only a planetesimal formation rate (Eq. 1: dSigma_plts/dt = zeta Sigma_dust(St>1e-2) Omega_K); it computes no size distribution and no internal thermal evolution. The bridge from 'formed within tau_26Al' to 'dry' is supplied entirely by citing L21, a paper sharing two authors with this one. The cited L21 sentence itself contains the qualifier 'smaller planetesimals will instead cool', and §4.2 concedes composition depends strongly on planetesimal size (L21). Thus the predicted dry outcome is not derived here; it is an imported conditional whose controlling variable is never computed: the result is forced by the citati

full rationale

No fit-to-data circularity is present: the model is a forward 1D disc/collapse simulation, and the JWST atmosphere non-detections are invoked post hoc as qualitative agreement, not fitted or optimized. The Mdot_acc-Mstar and pebble-flux comparisons are against external observations, not used to set the model's free parameters beyond the stated DD18/L21 choices. The central timing result (0.1 M_sun discs form planetesimals within <500 kyr) is a genuine model output. The circularity concern is focused: conversion of 'formed early' into 'all planetesimals are dehydrated' is taken from L21 (same-group authors), while the same source is quoted as saying small planetesimals cool and composition depends on size. The paper does not model sizes or thermal evolution, so the all-dry statement overreaches its own derivation. Because the formation-timing contribution is independent and the dehydration premise is a peer-reviewed prior simulation rather than a private ansatz, the score is 4 rather than higher; the paper's own caveats (§4.1, §4.2) honestly flag much of the missing support.

Protoplanetary discs emerging from collapsing molecular clouds are capable of forming planetesimals at the water snowline during both the cloud collapse and Class II disc phases; such a scenario could be responsible for creating the carbonaceous/non-carbonaceous (CC/NC) heterogeneity observed in the Solar System, and bears important implications for emergent planetary compositions. We use 1D simulations of a viscously evolving disc coupled with cloud collapse and planetesimal formation to explore how planetesimal formation during disc build-up varies across the stellar mass spectrum. We find a keen sensitivity of planetesimal formation timing, location, and outcomes on stellar mass. Discs around all investigated stellar masses form planetesimals in the Class II phase, but only the disc around low-mass M-dwarfs ($M_{\star}=0.1 M_{\odot}$) fails to form them during the infall phase. There is also a clear chemical heterogeneity in planetesimal populations (water-wet and dry) in discs born from clouds of $M_{\rm{cloud}} \geq 0.3M_{\odot}$ . Discs around low-mass M-dwarfs form and undergo extremely fast pebble drift (t < 2 Myr), forming planetesimals well within the half-life of Aluminium-26. This leads to dehydrated planetesimals in all M-dwarf disc formation cases considered. We argue that the variation in disc evolution across stellar mass makes it hard to pinpoint a common t = 0 for all discs, and that exoplanets emerging from dehydrated planetesimals around low-mass M-dwarfs will be born volatile-poor - potentially explaining the lack of rocky world atmospheres seen by JWST.
