Interstellar methyl mercaptanMethyl mercaptan (CH3SH) has been identified in Sgr B2 from observations of six lines in its millimeter-wave spectrum. The CH3SH rotational temperature and column density in Sgr B2 are T(rot) = 9 plus or minus 3 K and N = 1.5 plus or minus 0.2 x 10 to the 14th per sq cm, respectively. The CH3SH/CH3OH ratio is apparently not greatly different from the cosmic S/O ratio.
