TRIDENT Case Card: CMZ Molecular Abundance Structure vs Homogeneous Mixing (ALMA ACES)
Abstract
Formal TRIDENT-Z0 case card evaluating the claim that molecular abundance distributions in the Central Molecular Zone exhibit non-random spatial structure correlated with dynamical filaments and are inconsistent with chemically homogeneous models at matched resolution.Status: CONDITIONAL PASS pending explicit homogeneous model benchmark closure.
