3D CMZ. III. Constraining the 3D Structure of the Central Molecular Zone via Molecular Line Emission and Absorption

The Milky Way’s Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the largest concentration of dense molecular gas in the Galaxy, the structure of which is shaped by the complex interplay between Galactic-scale dynamics and extreme physical conditions. Understanding the 3D geometry of this gas is crucial, as it deter...
