Space and laboratory discovery of HC<sub>3</sub>S<sup>+</sup>
Astron Astrophys. 646, Art. No. L3 (2021).
The J“ = 5 to 8 transitions between 32.8 and 49.2 GHz were detected in the course of a molecular line survey of the prototypical cold dark molecular cloud TMC-1 carried out with the Yebes 40 m radio telescope. The identity was confirmed through laboratory measurements. The C3S to HC3S<sup>+ ratio is 65 ± 20, and the HC3O+ to HC3S+ ratio is 1.0 ± 0.5. The C3O to C3S ratio, in contrast, is ~0.11.
