C. Romero, M. McWilliam, J. -F. Macıas-Perez +36
Context: In the past decade, sensitive, resolved Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) studies of galaxy clusters have become common. Whereas many previous SZ studies have parameterized the pres…
Gas morphology and energetics at the surface of PDRs: new insights with Herschel observations of NGC 7023
C. Joblin, P. Pilleri, J. Montillaud +37
We investigate the physics and chemistry of the gas and dust in dense photon-dominated regions (PDRs), along with their dependence on the illuminating UV field. Using Herschel-HIFI…
100 mum and 160 mum emission as resolved star-formation rate estimators in M33 (HERM33ES)
M. Boquien, D. Calzetti, C. Kramer +17
Over the past few years several studies have provided estimates of the SFR (star-formation rate) or the total infrared luminosity from just one infrared band. However these relatio…
A NIKA view of two star-forming infrared dark clouds: Dust emissivity variations and mass concentration
A. J. Rigby, N. Peretto, R. Adam +39
The thermal emission of dust grains is a powerful tool for probing cold, dense regions of molecular gas in the ISM, and so constraining dust properties is key to obtaining accurate…
SYMBA: An end-to-end VLBI synthetic data generation pipeline
F. Roelofs, M. Janssen, I. Natarajan +203
Realistic synthetic observations of theoretical source models are essential for our understanding of real observational data. In using synthetic data, one can verify the extent to…
