Subset of JDISCS Cycle 1 targets with retrieved C₂H₂ slab temperatures of ∼1000 K, required to reproduce broader “pedestal”-like emission than observed in the other disks from our sample (magenta; full models from Figure 4 are filled in gray). Optically thick C₂H₂ components with ﹩\mathrm{log}N=22﹩ cm⁻² are overplotted for comparison (cyan; B. Tabone et al. 2023; A. M. Arabhavi et al. 2024), and OH emission lines that were not included in our fits are marked with purple, dashed lines. While the optically thick gas models can reproduce the excess emission near the bandheads, they overpredict the emission from the P and R branch transitions and are therefore not consistent with the overall shapes of the pedestals.
