Phosphine detections in Venus's atmosphere

Phosphine detections in Venus's atmosphere
Phosphine detections in Venus's atmosphere The two charts represent the detection of phosphine in Venus’s atmosphere as seen by the JCMT observatory (left) and the ALMA observatory (right). The dotted red line is the team’s analytical model for phosphine abundance. The solid red line shows the same model after processing it using the same spectral fitting used for the data. For a full discussion of these charts, see Greaves et. al. 2020. Greaves et. al. 2020
