Abstract

Comets and chondrites show non-monotonic behavior of their deuterium-to-hydrogen (D/H) ratio as a function of their formation location from the Sun. This is difficult to explain with a classical protoplanetary disk model that has a decreasing temperature structure with radius from the Sun.
