Photoprocessing of H2S on dust grains Building S chains in translucent clouds and comets

S. Cazaux et al.

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of sulfur in molecular clouds through experimental simulations and theoretical modelling. The results suggest that sulfur may exist in molecular clouds in the form of chains and undergo reactions when exposed to light. This finding has important implications for understanding the mechanism of sulfur depletion in molecular clouds.

A Comparative Study of Atmospheric Chemistry with VULCAN

Shang-Min Tsai et al.

Summary: The study updates the photochemical kinetics code VULCAN to include C-H-N-O-S networks and photochemistry. The model is validated for hot Jupiter atmospheres, low temperatures, and oxidizing atmospheres, showing the impact of condensation, advection, and boundary conditions on gas and cloud distribution. The effects of C/O ratio, species chemistry, vertical mixing, and heating are explored for extrasolar giant planets, with sulfur coupling to carbon/nitrogen and influencing other species.

Tracing the Formation History of Giant Planets in Protoplanetary Disks with Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Sulfur

D. Turrini et al.

Summary: This study explores how the abundances of C and O can limit the formation pathways of giant planets and investigates the impact of wider formation environments through simulations and compositional models. Although the C/O ratio provides limited insight, combining nitrogen and sulfur ratios can break degeneracies in the formation and migration tracks of giant planets. Using elemental ratios normalized to stellar ratios can provide additional information on the nature of giant planets.

TMC-1, the starless core sulfur factory: Discovery of NCS, HCCS, H2CCS, H2CCCS, and C4S and detection of C5S

J. Cernicharo et al.

Summary: Sulfur-bearing species NCS, HCCS, H2CCS, H2CCCS, C4S, and the first detection of C5S in a cold cloud were reported for the first time in space. Abundance ratios and chemical models show the need for improvement in handling S-bearing species in chemical networks.

SOLIS XII. SVS13-A Class I chemical complexity as revealed by S-bearing species

C. Codella et al.

Summary: Recent astrochemical studies have shed light on the distribution and properties of sulphuretted species, providing valuable insights into the chemical processes in star-forming regions. Analysis of the abundances and ratios of sulphuretted species in gas reveals variations in the sulphur-to-oxygen ratio during the formation of Sun-like stars. Overall, the findings suggest a consistent enrichment of sulphur with respect to other elements in the stages of low-mass star formation.
