The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey XVI: a cluster inventory
J. I. Davies, S. Bianchi, M. Baes +12
Herschel FIR observations are used to construct Virgo cluster galaxy luminosity functions and to show that the cluster lacks the very bright and the numerous faint sources detected…
The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey XIV: transition-type dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster
Ilse De Looze, Maarten Baes, Alessandro Boselli +19
We use dust scaling relations to investigate the hypothesis that Virgo cluster transition-type dwarfs are infalling star-forming field galaxies, which is argued based on their opti…
HERschel Observations of Edge-on Spirals (HEROES). I: Far-infrared morphology and dust mass determination
J. Verstappen, J. Fritz, M. Baes +11
Context. Edge-on spiral galaxies with prominent dust lanes provide us with an excellent opportunity to study the distribution and properties of the dust within them. The HEROES pro…
Herschel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA) III: The Star Formation Law in M31
George P. Ford, Walter K. Gear, Matthew W. L. Smith +17
We present a detailed study of how the Star Formation Rate (SFR) relates to the interstellar medium (ISM) of M31 at ~140pc scales. The SFR is calculated using the far-ultraviolet a…
The Herschel Fornax Cluster Survey I: The Bright Galaxy Sample
J. I. Davies, S. Bianchi, M. Baes +18
We present Herschel observations of the Fornax cluster at 100, 160, 250, 350 and 500u with a spatial resolution of 7 - 36 arc sec (10" = 1 kpc at d_Fornax=17.9 Mpc). We define a sa…
The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey XII: FIR properties of optically-selected Virgo Cluster galaxies
R. Auld, S. Bianchi, M. W. L. Smith +24
The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS) is the deepest, confusion-limited survey of the Virgo Cluster at far-infrared (FIR) wavelengths. The entire survey at full depth covers $…
The dust energy balance in the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4565
Ilse De Looze, Maarten Baes, George J. Bendo +20
We combine new dust continuum observations of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4565 in all Herschel/SPIRE (250, 350, 500 micron) wavebands, obtained as part of the Herschel Reference…
The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey: X.The relationship between cold dust and molecular gas content in Virgo spirals
Edvige Corbelli, Simone Bianchi, Luca Cortese +16
Using the far-infrared emission, as observed by the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS), and the integrated HI and CO brightness, we infer the dust and total gas mass for a magn…
Herschel and JCMT observations of the early-type dwarf galaxy NGC 205
I. De Looze, M. Baes, T. J. Parkin +18
We present Herschel dust continuum, James Clerk Maxwell Telescope CO(3-2) observations and a search for [CII] 158 micron and [OI] 63 micron spectral line emission for the brightest…
The Herschel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA) II: Dust and Gas in Andromeda
M. W. L. Smith, S. A. Eales, H. L. Gomez +26
We present an analysis of the dust and gas in Andromeda, using Herschel images sampling the entire far-infrared peak. We fit a modified-blackbody model to ~4000 quasi-independent p…
Can dust emission be used to map the interstellar medium in high-redshift galaxies? Results from the Herschel Reference Survey
Stephen Eales, Matthew W. L. Smith, Robbie Auld +23
It has often been suggested that an alternative to the standard CO/21-cm method for estimating the mass of the interstellar medium (ISM) in a galaxy might be to estimate the mass o…
The Herschel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA). I: Global far-infrared and sub-mm morphology
J. Fritz, G. Gentile, M. W. L. Smith +30
We have obtained Herschel images at five wavelengths from 100 to 500 micron of a ~5.5x2.5 degree area centred on the local galaxy M31 (Andromeda), our nearest neighbour spiral gala…
The Herschel Reference Survey: Dust in Early-Type Galaxies and Across the Hubble Sequence
M. W. L. Smith, H. L. Gomez, S. A. Eales +24
We present Herschel observations of 62 Early-Type Galaxies (ETGs), including 39 galaxies morphologically classified as S0+S0a and 23 galaxies classified as ellipticals using SPIRE…
The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey - VIII. The Bright Galaxy Sample
J. I. Davies, S. Bianchi, L. Cortese +20
We describe the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS) and the first data that cover the complete survey area (four 4 x 4 deg2 regions). We use these data to measure and compare th…
Panchromatic radiative transfer modeling of stars and dust in the Sombrero galaxy
Ilse De Looze, Maarten Baes, Jacopo Fritz +1
We present a detailed study of the dust energy balance in the Sombrero galaxy M104. From a full radiative transfer analysis, including scattering, absorption and thermal re-emissio…
Efficient 3D NLTE dust radiative transfer with SKIRT
Maarten Baes, Joris Verstappen, Ilse De Looze +5
We present an updated version of SKIRT, a 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer code developed to simulate dusty galaxies. The main novel characteristics of the SKIRT code are the use…
The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey. IX. Dust-to-gas mass ratio and metallicity gradients in four Virgo spiral galaxies
Laura Magrini, Simone Bianchi, Edvige Corbelli +20

The GALEX Ultraviolet Virgo Cluster Survey (GUViCS). I: The UV luminosity function of the central 12 sq.deg
A. Boselli, S. Boissier, S. Heinis +50
The GALEX Ultraviolet Virgo Cluster Survey (GUViCS) is a complete blind survey of the Virgo cluster covering about 40 sq. deg. in the far UV (FUV, lambda_eff=1539A, Delta-lambda=44…
The far-infrared view of M87 as seen by the Herschel Space Observatory
M. Baes, M. Clemens, E. M. Xilouris +29
The origin of the far-infrared emission from the nearby radio galaxy M87 remains a matter of debate. Some studies find evidence of a far-infrared excess due to thermal dust emissio…
The complex interplay of dust and star light in spiral galaxy discs
Maarten Baes, Dimitri Gadotti, Joris Verstappen +4
Interstellar dust grains efficiently absorb and scatter UV and optical radiation in galaxies, and therefore can significantly affect the apparent structure of spiral galaxies. We d…
