Asymptotic normality conjecture for distinct-part core-partition sizes

From papers

For each positive integer ss, let XsX_s be the size of a uniformly chosen (s,s+1)(s,s+1)-core partition with distinct parts. Let E[Xs]\mathbb{E}[X_s] and Var(Xs)\operatorname{Var}(X_s) denote its expectation and variance. Asymptotic normality conjecture. The distribution of

XsE[Xs]Var(Xs)\frac{X_s-\mathbb{E}[X_s]}{\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}(X_s)}}

converges to the standard normal distribution as ss\to\infty. The conjecture is motivated by the agreement of the first 16 limiting standardized central moments with those of the normal distribution; the source presents this as evidence rather than a proof.
