Abstract | Context: Sulphur is one of the most abundant elements in the Universe (S/H Aims: Our goal is to complete the inventory of S-bearing molecules and their abundances in the prototypical photodissociation region (PDR) the Horsehead nebula to gain insight into sulphur chemistry in UV irradiated regions. Based on the WHISPER (Wide-band High-resolution Iram-30m Surveys at two positions with Emir Receivers) millimeter (mm) line survey, our goal is to provide an improved and more accurate description of sulphur species and their abundances towards the core and PDR positions in the Horsehead. Methods: The Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) methodology and the molecular excitation and radiative transfer code RADEX were used to explore the parameter space and determine physical conditions and beam-averaged molecular abundances. Results: A total of 13 S-bearing species (CS, SO, SO Conclusions: This is the first complete study of S-bearing species towards a PDR. Our study shows that CS, SO, and H |
