Reply to: No evidence of phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus from independent analyses
Jane S. Greaves, Anita M. S. Richards, William Bains et al., 2021. Nature Astronomy 5(7), 636–639.
The team's reply and first re-analysis of re-processed ALMA data. Phosphine is recovered at about 5 sigma, with local abundances peaking at about 5–10 ppb and a planet average of about 1–4 ppb, below the earlier 7+ ppb; the authors argue the JCMT line cannot be sulphur dioxide and that the two telescopes agree if phosphine varies over time.
What it's used for here
The revised, lower abundance and the claim of reconciliation through variability.
