The recent study on photodesorption of SO2 and SO has unveiled fascinating insights. Researchers focused on the effects of UV irradiation on SO2 ices. The findings reveal significant gas-phase abundances of these molecules in the cold envelope of an intermediate mass protostar.
This discovery enhances our understanding of molecular processes in space. The detection of SO2 and SO offers clues about the chemical evolution in such environments. Scientists believe this knowledge could be crucial for future studies on astrochemistry.
