Is i hen na u al o ask i dynamically ac i e/exci ed disks
may ha e consequences o oo p in s in he disk chemical

WHY?
Dynamically ac i e disks imply:
1. The p esence o addi ional hea ing sou ces.
2. T anspo o ma e ial/ chemical mixing.
3. Ab up and sudden changes in he physical pa ame e s
(Tempe a u e, Radia ion Fields, Densi y).

Conclusions
● The NAI does no show s ong co ela ion wi h he
explo ed physical pa ame e s.
● Fo maldehyde emission aces di e en gas ese oi s

● The spa ial dis ibu ion o o maldehyde is s ill in iguing.
In some cases i shows s ong emission an ico ela ed
wi h he loca ion o dus aps, while in o he cases i
shows he opposi e beha io , i.e., no emission a all a
