Query: Survey of cold water lines in protoplanetary disks: indications of
  systematic volatile depletion   We performed very deep searches for 2 ground-state water transitions in 13
protoplanetary disks with the HIFI instrument on-board the Herschel Space
Observatory, with integration times up to 12 hours per line. Two other water
transitions that sample warmer gas were also searched for with shallower
integrations. The detection rate is low, and the upper limits provided by the
observations are generally much lower than predictions of thermo-chemical
models with canonical inputs. One ground-state transition is newly detected in
the stacked spectrum of AA Tau, DM Tau, LkCa 15, and MWC 480. We run a grid of
models to show that the abundance of gas-phase oxygen needs to be reduced by a
factor of at least ~100 to be consistent with the observational upper limits
(and positive detections) if a dust-to-gas mass ratio of 0.01 were to be
assumed. As a continuation of previous ideas, we propose that the underlying
reason for the depletion of oxygen (hence the low detection rate) is the
freeze-out of volatiles such as water and CO onto dust grains followed by grain
growth and settling/migration, which permanently removes these gas-phase
molecules from the emissive upper layers of the outer disk. Such depletion of
volatiles is likely ubiquitous among different disks, though not necessarily to
the same degree. The volatiles might be returned back to the gas phase in the
inner disk (within about 15 AU), which is consistent with current constraints.
Comparison with studies on disk dispersal due to photoevaporation indicates
that the timescale for volatile depletion is shorter than that of
photoevaporation.
