Mid-infrared imaging of Supernova 1987A
Mikako Matsuura, Roger Wesson, Richard G. Arendt +9
At a distance of 50 kpc, Supernova 1987A is an ideal target to study how a young supernova (SN) evolves in time. Its equatorial ring, filled with material expelled from the progeni…
SOFIA/HAWC+ observations of the Crab Nebula: dust properties from polarised emission
Jérémy Chastenet, Ilse De Looze, Brandon S. Hensley +14
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are well-recognised dust producers, but their net dust production rate remains elusive due to uncertainties in grain properties that propagate into observ…
The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey II: Constructing a volume-limited sample and first results from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope
P. Scicluna, F. Kemper, I. McDonald +89
The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey (NESS) is a volume-complete sample of 850 Galactic evolved stars within 3\,kpc at (sub-)mm wavelengths, observed in the CO (21) and…
The Life Cycle of Dust
Sarah Sadavoy, Mikako Matsuura, Lee Armus +24
Dust offers a unique probe of the interstellar medium (ISM) across multiple size, density, and temperature scales. Dust is detected in outflows of evolved stars, star-forming molec…
A Catalogue of Galactic Supernova Remnants in the far-infrared: revealing ejecta dust in pulsar wind nebulae
Hannah Chawner, Ken Marsh, Mikako Matsuura +7
We search for far-infrared (FIR) counterparts of known supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Galactic plane (10 deg <| l |< 60 deg) at 70-500 micron using the Herschel Infrared Galactic…
Probing the baryon cycle of galaxies with SPICA mid- and far-infrared observations

The SPICA mid and far-infrared telescope will address fundamental issues in our understanding of star formation and ISM physics in galaxies. A particular hallmark of SPICA is the o…
Galaxy evolution studies with the SPace IR telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA): the power of IR spectroscopy
L. Spinoglio, A. Alonso-Herrero, L. Armus +65
IR spectroscopy in the range 12-230 micron with the SPace IR telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA) will reveal the physical processes that govern the formation and evolu…
SPICA and the Chemical Evolution of Galaxies: The Rise of Metals and Dust
J. A. Fernández-Ontiveros, L. Armus, M. Baes +33
The physical processes driving the chemical evolution of galaxies in the last cannot be understood without directly probing the dust-obscured phase of star-for…
Dust and Gas in the Magellanic Clouds from the HERITAGE Herschel Key Project. I. Dust Properties and Insights into the Origin of the Submm Excess Emission
Karl D. Gordon, Julia Roman-Duval, Caroline Bot +33
The dust properties in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are studied using the HERITAGE Herschel Key Project photometric data in five bands from 100 to 500 micron. Three simple…
Detection of a Noble Gas Molecular Ion, {36}ArH^+, in the Crab Nebula
M. J. Barlow, B. M. Swinyard, P. J. Owen +9
Noble gas molecules have not hitherto been detected in space. From spectra obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory, we report the detection of emission in the 617.5 GHz and 12…
Herschel SPIRE and PACS observations of the red supergiant VY CMa: analysis of the molecular line spectra
Mikako Matsuura, J. A. Yates, M. J. Barlow +10
We present an analysis of the far-infrared and submillimetre molecular emission line spectrum of the luminous M-supergiant VY CMa, observed with the SPIRE and PACS spectrometers ab…
The global gas and dust budget of the Small Magellanic Cloud
M. Matsuura, Paul M. Woods, P. J. Owen
In order to understand the evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM) of a galaxy, we have analysed the gas and dust budget of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Using the Spitzer S…
A Cool Dust Factory in the Crab Nebula: A Herschel Study of the Filaments
H. L. Gomez, O. Krause, M. J. Barlow +13
Whether supernovae are major sources of dust in galaxies is a long-standing debate. We present infrared and submillimeter photometry and spectroscopy from the Herschel Space Observ…
Carbon-rich dust production in metal-poor galaxies in the Local Group
G. C. Sloan, M. Matsuura, E. Lagadec +7
We have observed a sample of 19 carbon stars in the Sculptor, Carina, Fornax, and Leo I dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The…
Radiation Transfer in the Cavity and Shell of Planetary Nebulae
M. D. Gray, M. Matsuura, A. A. Zijlstra
We develop an approximate analytical solution for the transfer of line-averaged radiation in the hydrogen recombination lines for the ionized cavity and molecular shell of a spheri…
Dust in Historical Galactic Type Ia Supernova Remnants with Herschel
H. L. Gomez, C. J. R. Clark, T. Nozawa +13
The origin of interstellar dust in galaxies is poorly understood, particularly the relative contributions from supernovae and the cool stellar winds of low-intermediate mass stars.…
Galactic distributions of carbon- and oxygen-rich AGB stars revealed by the AKARI mid-infrared all-sky survey

Context: The environmental conditions for asympotic giant branch (AGB) stars to reach the carbon-rich (C-rich) phase are important to understand the evolutionary process of AGB sta…
Modelling the Warm H2 Infrared Emission of the Helix Nebula Cometary Knots
