Notes. (a) Number of fits represents how many COMs can fit observations at ttotal. (b) κ is the maximum average value of seven confidence levels in each model. (c) ttotal is the entire evolutionary time when κ is the maximum value. (d) T is the temperature at ttotal. (e) Li et al. (2020). For five extended COMs the upper and lower limits of the abundance are provided; for two compact COMs only the upper limit of the abundance is provided. (f) a(b) = a × 10b. (g) The median values are selected from the abundances of the observed points in the extended region of Sgr B2 to calculate κ. (h) Bold indicates overproduction compared with the upper limit or underproduction compared with the lower limit. (i) These numbers are far below 10−13 and for convenience are designated as 0.
