Meanwhile, another paper: "A systematic search for trace molecules in #exoplanet K2-18 b".
The paper claims: "We find three molecules, including #DMS, which appear promising across the datasets considered.
The two molecules besides DMS are diethyl sulfide and methyl acrylonitrile, which are more complex than DMS, biogenic on Earth, and have no significant sources known beyond Earth."
And I am so sorry, but I don't believe any of this because Madhusudhan is a co-author of the paper.
