Abstract :
Absorption against the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), called the anomalous absorption, is an unusual phenomenon. The transition 111-110 at 4.829 GHz of formaldehyde (H2CO) was the first one showing the anomalous absorption. The c-C3H2 is the second molecule showing anomalous absorption through its transition 220-211 at 21.590 GHz. Structure of thioformaldehyde (H2CS) is very similar to that of the H2CO. Therefore, we have investigated about the physical conditions under which the transition 111-110 at 1.0465 GHz of H2CS would be found in anomalous absorption in cool cosmic objects. As in case of H2CO, the anomalous absorption of 111-110 of H2CS is found sensitive to the relative collisional rates and it requires that the collisional rate for the transition 111-211 must be smaller than that for the transition 110-212.
