The enigmatic nature of the circumstellar envelope and bow shock surrounding Betelgeuse as revealed by Herschel. I. Evidence of clumps, multiple arcs, and a linear bar-like structure

L. Decin, N. L. J. Cox, P. Royer +13

Context. The interaction between stellar winds and the interstellar medium (ISM) can create complex bow shocks. The photometers on board the Herschel Space Observatory are ideally…

The mid-infrared environments of 6.7 GHz Methanol Masers from the Methanol Multi-Beam Survey

M. Gallaway, M. A. Thompson, P. W. Lucas +10

We present a study of the mid-infrared environments and association with star formation tracers of 6.7 GHz methanol masers taken from the Methanol Multi-Beam (MMB) Survey. Our ulti…

Parallaxes and Proper Motions of Ultracool Brown Dwarfs of Spectral Types Y and Late T

Kenneth A. Marsh, Edward L. Wright, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +5

We present astrometric measurements of eleven nearby ultracool brown dwarfs of spectral types Y and late-T, based on imaging observations from a variety of space-based and ground-b…

Herschel view of the Taurus B211/3 filament and striations: Evidence of filamentary growth?

P. Palmeirim, Ph. André, J. Kirk +23

We present first results from the Herschel Gould Belt survey for the B211/L1495 region in the Taurus molecular cloud. Thanks to their high sensitivity and dynamic range, the Hersch…

The intrinsic shapes of starless cores in Ophiuchus

Oliver Lomax, Anthony P. Whitworth, Annabel Cartwright

Using observations of cores to infer their intrinsic properties requires the solution of several poorly constrained inverse problems. Here we address one of these problems, namely…

Spitzer Photometry of WISE-Selected Brown Dwarf and Hyper-Luminous Infrared Galaxy Candidates

Roger L. Griffith, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Peter R. M. Eisenhardt +23

We present Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 m photometry and positions for a sample of 1510 brown dwarf candidates identified by the WISE all-sky survey. Of these, 166 have been spectroscopi…

An independent distance estimate to CW Leo

M. A. T. Groenewegen, M. J. Barlow, J. A. D. L. Blommaert +13

CW Leo has been observed six times between October 2009 and June 2012 with the SPIRE instrument on board the Herschel satellite. Variability has been detected in the flux emitted b…

Interactions between brown-dwarf binaries and Sun-like stars

M. Kaplan, D. Stamatellos, A. P. Whitworth

Several mechanisms have been proposed for the formation of brown dwarfs, but there is as yet no consensus as to which -- if any -- are operative in nature. Any theory of brown dwar…

The M16 molecular complex under the influence of NGC6611. Herschel's perspective of the heating effect on the Eagle Nebula

T. Hill, F. Motte, P. Didelon +25

We present Herschel images from the HOBYS key program of the Eagle Nebula (M16) in the far-infrared and sub-millimetre, using the PACS and SPIRE cameras at 70μm, 160μm, 250μm, 350μ…

Herschel images of Fomalhaut. An extrasolar Kuiper Belt at the height of its dynamical activity

B. Acke, M. Min, C. Dominik +33

Fomalhaut is a young, nearby star that is suspected to harbor an infant planetary system, interspersed with one or more belts of dusty debris. We present far-infrared images obtain…

A T8.5 Brown Dwarf Member of the Xi Ursae Majoris System

Edward L. Wright, M. F. Skrutskie, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +12

The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer has revealed a T8.5 brown dwarf (WISE J111838.70+312537.9) that exhibits common proper motion with a solar-neighborhood (8 pc) quadruple sta…

The Herschel view of the on-going star formation in the Vela-C molecular cloud

T. Giannini, D. Elia, D. Lorenzetti +24

As part of the Herschel guaranteed time key program 'HOBYS', we present the photometric survey of the star forming region Vela-C, one of the nearest sites of low-to-high-mass star…

Revised analysis of SPIRE observations for 2M1207

B. Riaz, G. Lodato, D. Stamatellos +1

We have revised our analysis of the SPIRE observations of 2MASSW J1207334-393254 (2M1207). Recent PACS observations show a bright source located ~25" east of 2M1207. There are issu…
