Cold Water Emission Cannot Be Used to Infer Depletion of Bulk Elemental Oxygen [O/H] in Disks

We reexamine the constraints provided by Herschel Space Observatory data regarding cold water emission from protoplanetary disks. Previous disk models that were used to interpret observed water emission concluded that oxygen (O/H) is depleted by at least 2 orders of magnitude if a standard, interste...
