Tracing the CO “ice line'' in an MRI-active protoplanetary disk with rare CO isotopologues
The properties of planet-forming midplanes of protostellar disks remain largely unprobed by observations due to the high optical depth of common molecular lines and continuum. However, rotational emission lines from rare isotopologues may have optical depth near unity in the vertical direction, so t...
