Caption: Figure 2.

Evolutions of fiducial planetesimals with different chondritic compositions. Each plot is the contour of one quantity across time and radial location. Note that the total radius decreases due to sintering. From top row to bottom: EH, OC, CV, and CI bodies. Physical quantities from left to right: (i) temperature, (ii) condensed + gaseous C abundance normalized to the initial reservoir; > 1 relative abundance occurs due to sintering concentrating C, (iii) porosity and (iv) gas pressure; hatched areas are completely sintered with no meaningful gas pressure.
