Scientific paper

The detection and positive identification of interstellar NS is reported. The radio emission was observed from Sgr B2 and is attributed to the J = 5/2 to J = 3/2 transitions in the 2 Pi(1/2) c-state (115.16 GHz) and d-state (115.6 GHz) of (N-14)(S-32). Statistical-equilibrium calculations are used to derive a NS column density of the order of 10 to the 14th power per sq cm. This result is found to be in qualitative agreement with previous observations of other sulfur-containing molecules in Sgr B2, including SO, CS, H2S, OCS, and CH2S.
