Upper limits for PH3 and H2S in Titan's atmosphere from Cassini CIRS

Abstract:: We have searched for the presence of simple P and S-bearing molecules in Titan's atmosphere, by looking for the characteristic signatures of phosphine and hydrogen sulfide in infrared spectra obtained by Cassini CIRS. As a result we have placed the first upper limits on the stratospheric abundances, which are 1ppb (PH3) and 330ppb (H2S), at the 2-σ significance level. © 2013.
