Formation of dimethyl sulfide (CH 3 SCH 3 ) and ethanethiol (CH 3 CH 2 SH) in interstellar analog ices of methane (CH 4 ) and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S)
Abstract
SH) was further confirmed by matching the photoionization efficiency (PIE) curve to the experimental PI-ReToF-MS data. Our findings instigate a deeper understanding of interstellar sulfur chemistry linking interstellar and cometary ices to the gas-phase detection of sulfur bearing organics in star-forming regions.
