Sulfur is an abundant element which remains undepleted in diffuse interstellar gas but it is historically assumed to deplete (by factors of ˜1000) on grains at higher densities.
Photodissociation regions (PDRs) are an interesting intermediate medium between translucent and dark clouds where the energetics and dynamics are dominated by an illuminating FUV radiation field, and thus they can provide some new insights about the sulfur depletion problem. In this work we present our latest studies on CS and HCS^+ photochemistry, excitation and radiative transfer in the Horsehead PDR, allowing us to infer the sulfur abundance.
