Popis: Photochemistry of sulfur species in the upper Venus atmosphere is not well understood and the identity of ultraviolet (UV) absorber(s) remain unknown. Here, the authors show that sulfur monoxide dimer chemistry is a possible source of polysulfur, which could be responsible for the UV absorption.
