Water in Star-Forming Regions with the Herschel Space Observatory (WISH): Overview of key program and first results
E. F. van Dishoeck, L. E. Kristensen, A. O. Benz +12
`Water In Star-forming regions with Herschel' (WISH) is a key program on the Herschel Space Observatory designed to probe the physical and chemical structure of young stellar objec…
Variations in H2O+/H2O ratios toward massive star-forming regions
F. Wyrowski, F. van der Tak, F. Herpin +63
Early results from the Herschel Space Observatory revealed the water cation H2O+ to be an abundant ingredient of the interstellar medium. Here we present new observations of the H2…
Water abundances in high-mass protostellar envelopes: Herschel observations with HIFI
M. Marseille, F. F. S. van der Tak, F. Herpin +4
We derive the dense core structure and the water abundance in four massive star-forming regions which may help understand the earliest stages of massive star formation. We present…
Hydrides in Young Stellar Objects: Radiation tracers in a protostar-disk-outflow system
Arnold O. Benz, Simon Bruderer, Ewine F. van Dishoeck +2
Context: Hydrides of the most abundant heavier elements are fundamental molecules in cosmic chemistry. Some of them trace gas irradiated by UV or X-rays. Aims: We explore the abund…
Water vapor toward starless cores: the Herschel view
P. Caselli, E. Keto, L. Pagani +63
SWAS and Odin provided stringent upper limits on the gas phase water abundance of dark clouds (x(H2O) < 7x10^-9). We investigate the chemistry of water vapor in starless cores beyo…
Water cooling of shocks in protostellar outflows: Herschel-PACS map of L1157
B. Nisini, M. Benedettini, C. Codella +62
In the framework of the Water in Star-forming regions with Herschel (WISH) key program, maps in water lines of several outflows from young stars are being obtained, to study the wa…
From filamentary clouds to prestellar cores to the stellar IMF: Initial highlights from the Herschel Gould Belt survey
Ph. André, A. Men'shchikov, S. Bontemps +54
We summarize the first results from the Gould Belt survey, obtained toward the Aquila Rift and Polaris Flare regions during the 'science demonstration phase' of Herschel. Our 70-50…
Filamentary structures and compact objects in the Aquila and Polaris clouds observed by Herschel
A. Men'shchikov, Ph. André, P. Didelon +36
Our PACS and SPIRE images of the Aquila Rift and part of the Polaris Flare regions, taken during the science demonstration phase of Herschel discovered fascinating, omnipresent fil…
Physical properties of the Sh2-104 HII region as seen by Herschel
J. A. Rodón, A. Zavagno, J. -P. Baluteau +46
Context: Sh2-104 is a Galactic H ii region with a bubble morphology, detected at optical and radio wavelengths. It is considered the first observational confirmation of the collect…
Water abundance variations around high-mass protostars: Herschel-HIFI observations of the DR21 region
F. F. S. van der Tak, M. G. Marseille, F. Herpin +1
Water is a key molecule in the star formation process, but its spatial distribution in star-forming regions is not well known. We study the distribution of dust continuum and H2O a…
The Herschel first look at protostars in the Aquila Rift
S. Bontemps, Ph. Andre, V. Konyves +40
As part of the science demonstration phase of the Herschel mission of the Gould Belt Key Program, the Aquila Rift molecular complex has been observed. The complete ~ 3.3deg x 3.3de…
The physical properties of the dust in the RCW 120 HII region as seen by Herschel
L. D. Anderson, A. Zavagno, J. A. Rodon +41
Context. RCW 120 is a well-studied, nearby Galactic HII region with ongoing star formation in its surroundings. Previous work has shown that it displays a bubble morphology at mid-…
