Burned to ashes: How the thermal decomposition of refractory organics in the inner protoplanetary disc impacts the gas-phase C/O ratio

The C/O ratio is ubiquitous when it comes to any sort of discussion on the chemistry of planet-forming environments. The origin of this metric lies in the sister field of exoplanetary science, specifically, exoplanetary atmospheres. Moses et al. (2012)
