3 Motivations Many sulfur (single S) species detected in the interstellar gas From diatomic up to CH 3 CH 2 SH Wide variety of astronomical environments, including extragalactic

4 Motivations Many sulfur (single S) species detected in the interstellar gas From diatomic up to CH 3 CH 2 SH Wide variety of astronomical environments, including extragalactic Sulfur chemistry in space still puzzling no depletion in diffuse medium much lower abundance in dense, cold clouds Sulfur on grains? when? how? which form? no H2 S in grains OCS and SO 2 (?)

5 Motivations Many sulfur (single S) species detected in the interstellar gas From diatomic up to CH 3 CH 2 SH Wide variety of astronomical environments, including extragalactic Sulfur chemistry in space still puzzling no depletion in diffuse medium much lower abundance in dense, cold clouds Sulfur on grains? when? how? which form? no H2 S in grains OCS and SO 2 (?) Location and chemical form of missing sulfur

6 Motivations Large abundance of triatomic S, O, and H species Especially in high mass star-forming regions Key intermediates in the atmospheric oxidation of H 2 S to H 2 SO 4 Prominent role in catalytic cycles of stratospheric ozone depletion First experimental evidence of HSO by Schurath et al. (1977) low-resolution chemiluminescence visible spectra High-resolution spectroscopy by Endo et al. (1981) HSO and DSO hydrogen hyperfine coupling constant

7 HSO Experiment A electronic ground state (Endo et al. 1981) µ a = 2.20 D (Webster et al. 1982)

8 HSO Experiment Measured in the 194 GHz 1.2 THz range Free space cell, 3m long, single pass arrangement Cryogenic InSb and Schottky diode detectors Room temperature measurements Sulfur is very sticky! Similar results with two settings: 1. DC discharge ( ma) of H 2 S and O 2 (1:2) total pressure < 20 mtorr 2. DC discharge ( ma) of 40 mtorr of H 2 O cleaner experiment

9 HSO Experiment G. Cazzoli et al.: Laboratory measurements and astro Fig. 1. N = 10 6,4(5) 9 6,3(4) transition at GHz. In black, the signal Fig. 2. N obtained

10 HSO Experiment rements and Confirmation astronomical search by means for theof HSO magnetic radical field

17 Conclusions New THz measurements for HSO radical Excellent test for quantum chemical calculations Deep search in astronomical sources No radioastronomical detection (so far) HSO has not been included in chemical models CH3 S + O might produce HSO yield of HSO might be too low for detection S-chemistry in space is very active and intriguing Extending astrochemical models to new S-species Laboratory work on new sulfur molecules (ions? radicals?)
